Day Four of Positivity and Gratitude Challenge: 1). I am grateful that there are people in the world who give of themselves to help others. They set such good examples for me to aspire to. I see these generous souls all around me being kind often in small ways, but having a big impact just the same. Whether in the form of kind words, sharing information, donating to food pantries, forming groups to advocate for good, offering transportation, volunteering.........so much good going on that doesnt make the news! I realize that all these people doing all these selfless acts form a strong thread that keeps our society together. I am grateful for those who influence the rest of us to reach outside of ourselves to love well. 2) I am grateful for artists that feed the mind and nourish the soul with their I inspirational writing, creative paintings, astounding photographs, sculptures and all the other mediums of unique expressions of soul wanderings and discoveries. I also appreciate those who find these works and share them through various mediums for our enjoyment. 3). I very much appreciate the insistence of my parents that I speak, read and write Spanish at home. While I resented it, resisted and complained as a child, the practice and discipline served me. in my 60+ employment years, as well as socially, this gift of a second language has been a tremendous asset, enabling me to continue to be productive well beyond my retirement years. It has already been proven that the brains capacity to absorb information increases exponentially through its processing in several languages, not to mention improving global connectivity. Instead if tagging specific people, today I open up the challenge to any of my Facebook contacts that would like to experience the challenge and personal gratification of exploring reasons to be thankful in your life.
