Gratitude
Have you ever found yourself worrying about some little thing you wish were different about your body — chicken legs, 5 extra pounds where they don’t belong, frizzy hair that you can’t control no matter what — only to find yourself, in that moment, standing right in front of someone who really faces a physical challenge in life. A paraplegic, someone in a wheelchair, or, well, whatever…you imagine the one that really gets to you. And you catch yourself, breathe a sigh of relief and ask, “who am I to complain? That could be me. I have so much to be thankful for.”
It’s a huge eye opener, right? Well what if I told you that you had it all wrong?
