From my daughter's FB.
Each of us has any number of people who have helped us in our lives.
Parents, friends, family, mentors and teachers, complete strangers.
I make it a habit to thank people, and to state what I am thanking them for. I do not always remember. I am not always mindful.
Those moments are when I have failed at one my life practices. I note them, allow them to pass and work on to be mindful again.
Because practice is the accomplishment. Better practice. It never has to end.
"If you choose to do something, do it right and do it until it is done" my Father said to me when I was young. I have never forgotten, though I sometimes lapse in my practice.
My practice is always there for me, patiently waiting, never ending.
If you find it within yourself to see a kindness, or know a mentor, family member, friend or teacher let them know how much their work is appreciated.
Thank you.
Gratitude is an easy thing to forget, though we are fortunate in that we can always show it, however belated it might be.
Thank you, all you fine people, for all your good work and kind deeds, known and unknown, done because it was the right thing to do.
Thank you for that.
