A FEW DAYS AGO, I accepted a GRATITUDE CHALLENGE from my classmate Denise OSullivan Lynch, and promptly forgot I had. I have to chalk it up to a FULL PLATE, both physically and mentally. Nevertheless, Ive come back to my senses, and will now follow through on my acceptance. THE CHALLENGE IS THIS: For five days, name three things daily, that I am grateful/thankful for, and challenge two people per day to do the same. God gives us new mercies every day, so SIMPLE ENOUGH. Here goes my DAY 1: 1) I THANK GOD for my beautiful, extraordinary, ordinary life. At the end of it, I pray that he is pleased, and that Im giving Him a good return on His investment in it. 2) IM GRATEFUL for the things that come easy to me, because I regard them as TALENTS. Im also grateful the things I enjoy but dont do as well; I consider those CHALLENGES to improve, because they add purpose, direction, and motivation to life. 3) Im THANKFUL for my FRIENDS, near and far, in distance and in time. You have been my secondary supporting cast, and I owe you all a debt I can never repay. If I talked to you yesterday, or I havent seen or heard from you for 20+ years, you have enriched my life, I will always name you FRIEND, and I will always love you for it. Now.......If they choose to accept, I challenge Diane Jacobs Holmes and Johnnie Hutt Hudson to do the same.
