MESSAGE #513 BACK HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS…
First of all, a very Merry Christmas for all of you celebrating.
It is 2:34AM on December 25th and I just got back from my amazing Australia and New Zealand trip. I had a wonderful time and met some great people like magician and Houdini expert, Bernard Reid (pictured above with me and the great Melissa Sapio). If you recall, I did not post a message on December 9th because I was crossing the international date line and never experienced December 9, 2008. And my intention was to give you two blog entries for the December 24th because I actually experienced it twice, but our flight was delayed and didn’t get home in time.
Some say that this is the most wonderful time of the year.
Many people like the holidays because they receive gifts. Others enjoy it because they get to give gifts.
My family decided long ago not to exchange gifts with each other (except for the kids) and instead we spend time together.
So if Santa doesn’t bring you what you want this year, don’t worry because they is still plenty to be grateful for.
Here are a few things on my gratitude list:
My friends
My family
My health
My dog
My car
My computer
My house
My clothes
My food
My opportunity to play/teach tennis
My opportunity to help others
My blog readers
My life.
When you focus less on wanting more possessions, and more on being grateful for all the wonderful things you already have, your whole world changes.
Life is beautiful…are you noticing?
Thanks for reading.
