Being Grateful

I am back from yet another business trip. This time I traveled to the cold weather of Toronto, Canada. I am happy to be back home. I am truly grateful for everything I have and I am content with what we have. I do not need or want anything else in my life. I have God, my wife, kids, family, and friends, and that is all I need. We can very easily forget how lucky many of us are as we live our daily lives because we get so wrapped up in our lives, that we forget to live and enjoy the moment. I found some of that during this trip. I found myself just taking a moment to be grateful, even in the hectic airport and crazy traveling around the city. Just stop and look at something, and just enjoy the moment. I had to take a train from downtown Toronto to the airport. I had been running around all day and had many stressful meetings. I sat down on the train, stared out the window, and just took a moment to enjoy the moment. Watching as the train chugged along the track and just looked at the surroundings. Again, I am truly grateful for my life and everything in it. Take a minute and enjoy a moment. We only get so many of them on this earth. Keep moving!!!
