Attitude of gratitude

My Mum had a health hiccup this week that wasn’t (to put it mildly) pleasant and I’ve not been feeling up to snuff for a few weeks. Good grief-how the internal dialog can quickly turn against you if you’re not vigilant! I’ve been mildly preaching to Mum if she finds herself in the negative zone to come back to gratitude. So today on my bike ride I took my own advise & listed all the things I grateful for (which I do quite often), this particular jump was for “I’m really grateful I have friends who discuss the joys of a pee-jibe”! Actually it was “I’m really grateful Pino Danielle is playing perfect theme tune music on my i-pod”.

Upon my return to Rice Park I was grateful to see kids, dogs & adults playing the old fashioned way……the kid in the cardboard box is my new hero!

Tulsa has been under several inches of sheet ice and frozen sleet for almost a week now. This morning I was cautiously driving my wife up a icy sidestreet to the local walmart for some groceries and had to stop and pull over to allow a mom in a red SUV pulling a large sheet of cardboard with 3 or 4 screaming kiddos in tow. I laughed and said it looked like fun at the same time as my wife burst into an indignant tirade at the irrisponsible maniac risking the lives of her childen.

Guess which of us was raised in a small town in Oklahoma and which was raised in the busy city of St Louis, MO. I wisely kept my mouth shut but gave the mom a wink and a thumbs up as we passed.

Life is short.
