A Lot To Be Thankful For

A Lot To Be Thankful For

by ChrisNovember 24, 2009

Knowing Thanksgiving is two days away, gives me reason to pause and reflect on the many things I am grateful for in my personal life as well as my business.

There is not a day that goes by where I am not thankful for the gift of healing in my body. Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in April of 2006 has been a life changing experience. I recall seeing a Larry King Live interview with Suzanne Somers, while I was going through my treatment, whom you may recall chose to fight her breast cancer through alternative means, no chemotherapy. I was laying on the couch with no hair, and not feeling well when I heard this interview. Suzanne was sharing that she had been cancer free for 5 years at that point. She made a comment I haven’t forgotten. She said “I can say I am truly grateful for the experience”. I remember thinking to myself, “Will I ever be able to say I am grateful for this experience’? I couldn’t imagine it! Well, as I am now cancer free for the 3rd year, I am gaining a much better perspective on the journey I was on and yes, I can now say I am truly grateful for the experience. I have found through adversity, there can be opportunity!

I would like to share a few of the many things I am grateful for are:

Health which allows me to enjoy waking up to each fresh, new day
Husband, John and 11 yr old twin step-daughters, Jahna and Mikala
Mom, Alta
Brother and Sister-in-Law, Dick and Kris
Two adorable nieces, Mia and Shayla,
Many good friends
Pastor Joel Johnson/Westwood Community Church
Oncologist Dr Brian Rank/Health Partners
Massage Therapist Sandy Becklund
Home
Freedom/Soldiers who protect us every day
Supportive outreach of It’s Still Me Wig Studio
Christian Faith
Hope in the midst of uncertainty
Peace in the midst of worldly chaos
Grace for all circumstances
Gifts of love and forgiveness
Courage to face both the good and the bad
Every gorgeous sunrise and sunset/all of Minnesota’s beautiful seasons
And…YOU!

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to reflect on the things you are most grateful for. A spirit of gratitude is contagious. Let’s spread the fact we are truly blessed amongst ourselves and we’ll be joyful people!
