Greetings and welcome to Day 25. They say that after 21 days you’ve/I’ve created a habit. This doesn’t feel like a habit…maybe because I tend to attach a negative connotation to habits. Anyway, it’s 25 of a 365 day journey and while I’ve understood the power of gratitude, I’m much more conscious of it and it’s role in my life. I hope you are finding that too. Even if you aren’t actively practicing gratitude.

Today, as in everyday, I’m grateful for a slue of items. Mostly, for time to extend my weekend, sleep in, work out at home, and come into work at 11. While most days I dread working until 8 on Monday’s I sure enjoy the extension of my weekend.

I am also quite thankful for little reminders that I come across that lead me to be even more aware than I am. I don’t believe in coincidences and believe everything happens for a reason (even if we don’t know that reason). Point being, I ran across an article on Facebook that is titled “Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed.” I recognize I’m young at 41 but with life experience and awareness I realize not everyone is afforded the gift of a long life. Read the article and think about how you might make adjustments in your life.  http://www.karenstan.net/2013/11/11/nurse-reveals-top-5-regrets-people-make-deathbed/

How can you avoid dying with regrets?
