I am sitting aboard a Continental regional jet looking out the window and admiring the tops of the moonlit clouds. The date of this entry is inaccurate and moreso unimportant and the same goes for the destination. What is important is that I know I am the luckiest man in the world and I count my blessings everyday.
I have been desperately trying to shake the cynicism I have learned over the years. I looked at an old yearbook the other day and noted that I was referenced as a complainer, even back in 10th grade. That’s just awful. I don’t want to be known as the guy that was forever complaining, and while personal blogs sort of enable this behavior there isn’t a mandate that I have to be that way. So I keep conscious of these things.
The internet has afforded me the opportunity to meet some amazing people over the years. I have met those with a really positive outlook and I have known those that are having a hard time at it. I joke with Earl about the fact that we got together before the whole dot com thing and here we still are all these years later. This shows me two things: what is meant to be will be and life is what you make of it.
I mentioned earlier that I know I’m the luckiest guy in the world. It’s because I invited that luck in and was showed how to nurture it.
And then when I looked out, I noticed that the clouds had dissipated.
Wow, not really sure where to start with commenting here. I think we both already know how much of a connection we both have toward being positive and hosting a grateful heart and spirit. It’s no surprise that it is a journey. I’d say that even, simply, being aware of what it is in your life that you don’t like, or don’t want, is a good start. And then, of course putting it into action and actually working on it is something else. Big hugs to you.
And, hey, nothing wrong with a Continental RJ…..a 700 or 900?? Oh, wait, I think they have the EMB-135 and 145.
