What are you thankful for?

By my bedside is a journal given to me by a coaching client.

I treasure it. It’s called “My Daily Momentum Book” and on the front cover it says:

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.”

In it I write what:

• Strengthens my family,
• Expresses my heart and soul,
• Gets me healthier,
• Helps me build a successful and thriving business,
• Grows me as a leader,
• Shows my gratitude, and
• I’ve learned about myself.

As a tribute to 2011, I thought I’d share some of my favourite entries from the year.

I’m thankful for…

• My spirit. My heart. My soul.
• The air I breathe and the water I drink.
• My precious life.
