When I think of gratitude, I’m reminded of this story: There was once a man with one eye who was quite depressed about having only one eye. As he walked down the road, lamenting about his lot in life, he ran across the man with no eyes. The man with one eye was filled with – Read More –
“Change is challenging.” – L.E.E. It is very easy to get “stuck” in familiar routines.
