Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
The grass is not always greener on the other side. I know there
are many times that it appears that someone has better things
than you, or their life is easier, or they have a nicer house,
or they have perfect children. Rather than focusing on what they
have, focus on what you have. Whether you realize it or not,
many people are looking at you thinking you have so much that
they would like to have. Their grass may look greener on your
side.
If you take a few minutes daily and count your blessing you will
begin to feel your way to your own green pastures. Waking up in
the morning is a blessing, having running water is a blessing,
having food in your cupboard is a blessing, having family or
friends that you can hug and smile with is a blessing. So many
of us take for granted the majority of things that surround us.
When we start to look at the little things in our lives as
blessings and appreciate what we have, what we have starts to
expand. When we are appreciative of our friends, more friends
come into our lives. When we appreciate the love that comes from
our animals, our animals give us more love. Never underestimate
the power of these moments. The moment you stop to look at what
is right in front of you and appreciate it, you will begin to
feel wonderful immediately. My wish for you is that today you
begin to appreciate the simplicity, the sense of accomplishment
you have from recognizing your own green pastures.
Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2009-2010
