Daily Gratitude: I have been an ostrich in so many aspects of my life. If I could stick my head in the sand to avoid something, I did. I didn’t want to face anything. It wasn’t until about 4 years ago that I realized I wanted something different. Then I got to work and began facing the things that had frightened me. It wasn’t easy but it worked. It didn’t all work at once and it took repeated effort, but looking “it” in the face turned out NOT to be as painful as i had previously thought. You’ll never change by avoiding and ignoring something. You have to stand square and say “bring it on”!
