Dear ,
A few days ago I was blessed to receive a simple one-line email reply to one of my newsletter blasts.
I get great emails all the time and you may be one who invests the time to send me some jewel from your fingertips or voice-recognition software.
It came from Art Ralston. Here's what he sent:
"One of the things I like about you is your zest for life."
Thanks Art!
That zest comes from one thing and
if you want zest in your life you can make it happen with very little effort.
It's all about this one word.
Attitude
I
believe I have my mom to thank for it. When I reach back deep into my memories, I can trace my attitude to long-ago events.
I played outdoors with great intensity. I looked forward to delivering the papers on my afternoon Post & Times Star route. A great attitude about schoolwork took longer to develop. That happened in college.
Better late than never.
My mom was a go-getter. She was the bread winner in our family because my dad suffered horribly from deep depression caused by his WW II experience as a medic and being a POW.
About twenty years ago I found
on the floor of my local post office a lapel pin that sits right in front of me at my desk.
I don't know that I need the reminder, but I love the pin.
