Given certain recent events in my life, and, more specifically, the life of one of my dearest loved ones, I'd like to take this moment to remember what's truly important. I don't think I do this often enough and it's a real shame that it takes a traumatic event to make me realize how trivial many of my daily complaints are. So, as I sit here in my future in-laws' home surrounded by future family, I vow to make 2011 the year of gratitude. I'll spend the rest of 2010 practicing being thankful: thankful for my family, my friends, my pets (past and present), and all of the abundant blessings in my life. Come the new year, I will spend less time complaining about nonsense and more time focusing on enjoying all of life's little gifts. It won't be easy; we all know it's much easier to be negative in the face of adversity than to be positive, but I'm up for the challenge. Cheers!
