InspireME Friday: On a Positive Note, Let's Be Grateful.

"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."~~ Eric Hoffer

Good Morning Friends,


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

These words remind us that all of us at FSO we have lots to be thankful for.

Indeed, we do.

Here's a life lesson my mother taught me:

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decisions.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch- holding hands, a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Sometimes you need just a little something to make you smile. 

At times like these we all need to smile. 

People forget what you said, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

You should pass this along to someone you care about. I just did. 


And always remember what John F Kennedy said: “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

Here is how you say Thank You in 465 languages.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.
