November 25, 2015, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Red-Headed Gratitude
By Darrell Gurney | Blog
“I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I’ve learned.” –Enrique Iglesias
It’s always the usual-suspect goodies that we first think to give thanks for.
Those standard goodies of health, home, family, career, community and turkey and dressing on the table are absolute blessings, for sure.
Yet do we cast as much thanks upon the challenges, the downfalls, the mis-steps and mis-takes, the things that didn’t go our way or caused a crimp in our plans?
Including the whole bunch seems appropriate, and perhaps those generally overlooked blessings deserve a bit more gravy…because they shaped us in ways of, if seemingly not our own choosing, at least our own growth.
Got red-headed stepchild gratitude?
“Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.” –Travis Barker
