An Attitude of Gratitude….
Just reflecting on my life and the lives of others who are so strong and remain so positive that they are truly an inspiration to myself and others. There are so many people that manifest good in their lives and always have a smile on their faces despite difficult times.
I’m reminded of a woman named Patti who just recently lost her husband [Lee]….but she is so strong in her faith and in the universe that she has has been nothing but phenomenal since his passing. She has an unwavering “Attitude of Gratitude”.
Several years back, Patti decided to show her gratitude for every person that she meets, and I mean EVERY PERSON! So, one of the first questions she manages to squeak into a conversation is “when’s your birthday?”. I know that sounds funny, but then, Patti systematically finds out where you live and sends you a birthday card…not just that year, but for the rest of your life. She wants EVERYONE to feel special….especially on their “special day”.
Well….today is my birthday, and so before walking to my mailbox I concentrated on ”expecting checks in the mail”, and I was not disappointed….I opened my mailbox….and there was my tax return check…and like clockwork, a birthday card from Patti…with a message of hope and abundance!
Many people wondered whether or not Patti would lose her faith, or her drive to send birthday cards after the sudden passing of her husband…be she did not. Incidentally, Patti sends out over a thousand birthday cards, each year, out of her own pocket and hand writes each and every one…
I just wanted to say, that I am grateful to all of the “Pattis” out there that have found a unique way to truly make a difference in this world!
It’s the thought that counts…..and thoughts are things….really wonderful things!
