Gratitude on Many Levels

The Good News is....
(drum roll please)
....I got a JOB!

I start Monday at a local Chiropractic office - a 2-minute commute by car - less than 15 minutes by legs.  I checked.

I'm excited about working with the doctor and his staff.  There is a wonderful energy that surrounds them and the practice.  I personally have had great success with chiropractic care - as have other family - and it will be good to be involved in helping people get healthy.

I'm looking forward to getting engaged in the world again - in a way that only gainful employment can accomplish.  It will also feel good to have an income - instead of just an out-go!

With unemployment figures off the charts - this is definitely one of those times when I don't have to pick an Angel card to remind me to be Grateful!

So - with this good news - why then this morning did I have an underlying feeling of sadness.  I scolded myself to "get over it" and quit acting like such a whiner!

That's when it occurred to me that it was 5 years ago today that my dad had to leave us for his next adventure.

I guess my heart must have remembered before my head figured it out.  It helped me to identify and understand the reason for my sadness.

Gratitude has many dimensions...
