Day 2 in the challenge – are you ready to the progress up the pyramid?

Today’s challenge is to be grateful for safety and security. Slightly higher in the scheme, but still a pretty basic need.

Are you grateful for safety and security? Your health, employment, property, etc.

I suspect if you’re younger than your 50’s, you take for granted the health you are blessed with. Some time in your 40’s your knees or your back crackle when you stand up. The natural aging process actually increases your gratitude for your health.

Just for today, be mindful and grateful that you are alive and well.

I am grateful for Dr. Sanderson, who fixed my tooth after my nasty fall a couple years ago. I am grateful for Dr. Wright who carefully checks me for skin cancer every year. I’m grateful for Dr. Valdecanas who doesn’t reprimand me too much for my weight gain. I’m grateful to my brother in Macon and my sister-in-law in Charleston who tolerate my health questions. I’m grateful to my brother Thomas who provides a non-judgemental psych assessment.

I’m alive and that’s a blessing.
