Good
morning!
When I was 10, I
was a math whiz. My mother was always helping kids in our neighborhood
and we often took in a child who might have been having problems in
their home. One year, we took in a young man who was around 18 and
wanted to get into the military. Unfortunately, his education had
been lacking and he was unable to pass the math test.
I went to my
school principal and asked if he could loan me elementary math books. I
started tutoring him 2 hours a night, beginning with first grade math
and gradually working upward. A year later when he took his test, he
passed and began a successful military career.
We didn't keep
in touch, but about 10 years later he called and left a message on my
mother's answering machine. He called to thank us for helping him out
and specifically for the tutoring. He was now married with a family and
enjoying a successful career. That message of thanks touched my heart
and has always been remembered.
Sharing our
thankfulness with someone else each day can dramatically enrich our
life and the lives of those we thank. This can be done in person,
through a phone call, or through a thank you card. Try to use thank you
cards instead of emails as the process of writing encourages us to slow
down (plus people are inundated with emails these days--there is
something about a thoughtfully written thank-you note that is very
special to both sender and recipient).
Your
Turn: Take a few minutes to generate a list of people you
would like to thank. They can be current people in your life or people
from long ago.
Your
Daily Affirmation: I am never too busy to thoughtfully express
my thankfulness. | |||||||
