I attended the Bloggers brunch with the theme 'Greatness Through Gratitude' today.
I heard some very inspiring words from the guest speakers.
Rosemary, who is a breast cancer survivor spoke very close to my heart. I'll tell you more about her another day.
Everyday, I still seem have more to complain about ...instead of being thankful.I'm trying ,
“In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy.”
I love this quote , it was mentioned today.
This one too resonates...
“Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human...At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”
I was held up for hours in Sydney traffic due to a roof being blown off in wild weather and there an asbestos scare . It affected a major arterial road and traffic crawled for 1.5-2 hrs. At the time I was very frustrated ...now I am grateful no-one was injured.
I'm grateful that I was inside another building, safe, when the storm hit and that I didn't have to drive in torrential rain.
I'm grateful I survived the Sydney traffic and despite the stupid GPS ! ...I mean - I'm grateful I had a GPS that eventually steered me in the right direction till I could follow my nose and the signs.
