Gratitude – Page 10 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

Try being this all day

You can’t be happy all the time, right?

What if.

What if gratitude is the secret to being happy?

You can be grateful all the time.

Right?

All.

The.

Time.

Try being unhappy when you’re grateful.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Too tired to pray?

St Jude Memphis. Abandoned Radio Flyer in the parking lot. Pillow and blanket inside.

Too tired to pray?

Nope.

Grateful for places like St Jude and people like Danny Thomas.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the car accident last night

Rear end collision minimal damage — Chris and his wife were ok, as was their jeep.

Rear end collision front end damage — Our bumper was too low and wasn’t even scratched, so the hood and radiator absorbed the impact.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the car accident last night. It could have been:

Much more damaging to the other vehicle
Much more damaging to our vehicle
We could have gone from four people with zero injuries to all of us having multiple
It could have happened far from home
It could have happened at night
It could have happened along a dangerous stretch of highway
It could have been raining, or snowing (far away from home), or thunderstorms
It could have been a brand new driver, at 16, feeling tremendous guilt
It could have involved more than two cars
It could have taken longer for the tow truck
It could have been a nightmare

Thank you for keeping it minor.

From not being able to afford a tent

Disneyland Hotel room photo — Blessed to be a parent.

Disney Keynote Speaker — Bicycling across the Country (1983).

From not being able to afford a tent for the 1982 cross-country bicycle trip, to having a Disneyland Hotel room facing Disneyland, Downtown Disney, and Disney’s California Adventure…

How did this happen?

Feeling deep humility and gratitude for the opportunity to do work that matters.

Who’s not freakishly grateful?

Priest description — We received this at Mass yesterday, the day we met Father Geil.

The new Priest, Father Geil, has much to be thankful for.

How do i know?

What Priest isn’t insanely grateful?

What human isn’t intensely grateful?

i’m freakishly grateful to have not only reached the 100-day goal, but also for choosing to continue on the 101st day.
