Dear Gratitude Journal :

Today I asked one of the interns at work what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without much hesitation, he responded, “IDK, I guess a good dad.” I’ve asked that same questions of hundreds of men over my lifetime, and this was the first time I got a response that included a thought for someone else. I’m grateful for his perspective. I’m grateful I’m not afraid to quit. Knowin’ when to fold ’em is as important as persistence. And I’m grateful for AAA. They are very helpful.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Now that I’m rolling off my current project, I have a serious case of short-timers disease, and find myself irritated by even the most minor inconvenience or request. I know I shouldn’t be, but let’s face it, I’m impatient even on good day. So today I’m grateful that I don’t have to physically be in the same room as my client. I’m also grateful that my team is on the East Coast so I don’t have to talk to anyone after 2 pm, which is particularly advantages on Friday, and I’m grateful Labor Day is coming up, and next week is a short week.

The end.
