Vulnerability

I don’t have an inspiring story today. In truth I am struggling to feel happiness and gratitude despite all my best efforts today. The death of my close loved one and the impending memorial service with family has opened some very old wounds and while I want to honor the person who has left my life, I am dreading the event. I wrote my personal notes this morning with an open heart and full of gratitude and then the day and my mood spiraled. I went back to The Mr. Thank you Project Book and read the section about writing a note to yourself. While I haven’t completed this task yet because I have a feeling it will be a deeply emotional experience I shouldn’t have at the office or in my car in front of my son’s school, your words touched me and it is something that I am committed to doing. “…allow all of you to be loved, honored and respected as you deserve to be.” Thank you John for your vulnerability, honesty and wisdom. For this gift, I feel immense gratitude.
