This past week, I had a good exchange with a friend on Facebook ....
HG ===> At another post, a friend suggests that starting January 1st ... how about logging down on paper (in a file somewhere) only the good things that happen in your life. Then, at the end of the year, go back and read them and smile. Life has got to offer some good things even in the bleakest of times!
DK ===> I named my office my "I love me room!" I have a wall of acknowledgments to remind me that I can stand for things worthy the effort, and I have a file drawer full of notes from former students, parents, colleagues and people in the community. When I find the world bearing down on me and feeling hopeless, I open that drawer and humbly wrap myself in gratitude for the blessings life has brought me. It helps when things seem their bleakest to have a touch stone.
HG ===> Thank you, Dan. Life indeed is a worthwhile undertaking in the hands of a wise person. Above all, the learning, the sharing, and the caring is what I find most blissful and satisfying. And if "memory" or the capacity for it remains in tact, then we can say that sanity is achievable ... humor and balance will stay in place!
