Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: How many of you remember this day 23 years ago? I don’t know about you but I can’t believe it was that long ago. It seems as if it all happened yesterday. What lessons can we take from that awful day? One might be regarding decisions. We all seem to get anxious and worried whenever we have some decision to make. What if we were to put our need to make a decision in perspective? Think about those people on the upper floors of the towers and the decision they had to make. “Do I stay here and die from smoke inhalation or burns. Or do I jump to my death?” How horrible does your personal dilemma seem now? You may say this is dramatic but that’s one of the most prominent thing I remember watching the events evolve – and the vocal cries from the men I was with as they shouted “oh no” or “oh my God” as they watched the TV. It was one of the most visceral parts of the day and there were certainly plenty of them. Next time you think things are getting rough, think back to that day. Take some time today to remember all those affected that day.
