One of the people who lost his home of 25 years to the recent Kelowna fire was grateful. He thanked the community for their support, and he was grateful that his family and himself still had the clothes on their back and a few credit cards in their pocket.

He showed gratitude even after losing 25 years of memories, losing the home where all his kids were born and raised, all the trophies and pictures, and important documents. They didn't have time to get anything before the destruction.

All their furniture and cars and clothes and food - Gone.

25 years there, and then burned to ash within 24 hours.

But - he still showed sincere gratitude.

He found the BRIGHT side while in the midst of the DARK side.

If you have the basic needs covered...

Food, Shelter, Your health, Family, a few friends, some cash...and you are alive. Are you grateful for these things?
Do you have your sight? Do you have your hearing? Do you have all your body parts? Are you grateful for these things?

Could you be satisfied with just being alive?

Look around.

Are you looking on the bright side?

Are people around you looking on the bright side?

Is there really any other way?

If you have gratitude - there is no room for worry.

If you have gratitude - there is no room for defeat.

Gratitude -

The ultimate bright side.

It's always there, waiting for YOU to make it shine brighter.

Shine brighter.

Peace
Andrea
