Gratitude and Recognition

Thinking about my VQ, I was reminded of something we do with our family to bring us closer and to humbly remind all of us to stop, reflect and appreciate each other, and appreciate our blessings.

So, when we do sit around the table at dinner, which sways with the waves of an active family, as sports and dance and work are in motion, our family goes around the table and each person offers up what they are grateful for and then we each compliment someone at the table (not a pet) in recognition of a positive accomplishment or worthy action that the person did.

This exercise brought us closer, diffused disagreements, and drove us to think about all the blessings we have. Blessings sitting in front of us every day. It also reminded us that we are surrounded by amazing talented people. We are all remarkable in our own God given way.

Sometimes simple, sometime deep. Perhaps it was beautiful day with the sun shinning, or just that we were all together. Compliments on a well cooked healthy dinner or a Major sports or dance achievement were the norm.

As Ferris Bueller said…Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it,”

I think that is great advice on many different levels. In this case, look around, there are so many simple blessings we experience and the achievements by ourselves and our friends and loved ones that will pass us by if we fail to stop, look around, and take notice.

In that spirit, I will close with saying that I’m very grateful for F3, for Sparkler who recruited me back, and for this amazing group of men Asylum PM that welcomed me back in on a rainy day this past spring.

I also want to compliment you all. Everyone in the circle has inspired me in some way and you all are amazing men of God and it is a blessing to be with you.
