Attitude and Gratitude

Sent to my bootcampers on Thanksgiving.. simple but true meaning we can all appreciate!



Hello to all of you, my past and present bootcampers, and friends! I've spent all day re-wording and re-writing the perfect e-mail to let all of you know how much I appreciate you. I am now sending a different version of what I have planned, after talking with my dad a short time ago. Please be patient for a quick story.. He works for the gas company in Southern California, and just called and told me a beautiful story that says it all. He got called on an emergency call to re-light the gas stove for a 90 year old lady who lives alone. He showed up, and she was dressed up, waiting for him to come. He commented on how nice she looked, and she said she had to look nice for company. She revealed how old she was, and my dad asked how she looked so youthful, what her secret was. She responded, it's only 2 things. Attitude and gratitude. Think about that! It's so true... We have control over both. What kind of attitude we choose to have, and gratitude, to be grateful for what we have and the people around us. I won't make this much longer, but I want all of you to know, whether you came into my life for a month, or I've been fortunate enough to have know you for many months, that I appreciate you, I am grateful for you, and hope you have a wonderful, Happy Thanksgiving Day!!
