Celebrate Transformation With This Special Guest Blogger

I was discussing with my hubby last night and telling him how my transformation is so remarkable. I think it started out forced – like I made myself find gratitude in situations where maybe I’d normally not and then over time it just took hold and became a way of being.

Last week I scraped up the side of my car on a stump.

The night it happened instead of freaking out, I kept thinking how I was grateful I didn’t get hurt – how the scratched up car was really not that big a deal since I was ok.

I thought it was just a few scratches, but noticed over the weekend that my tire was tilted funny. So I took the car in today.

At first the mechanic said he thought I’d bent the axle. He told me I should file an insurance claim because it would definitely exceed my $500 deductible. Not good news. Then after they got the car up and took the tires off it turned out the alignment was just messed up – an $89 fix.

I left the tire shop with a huge smile on my face. I kept thinking how lucky I was. I was bursting with gratitude that I hadn’t done more damage and that my car wasn’t going to be in the shop for days.

So tonight when I showed up to class we were discussing gratitude – what a coincidence.

I started thinking how a couple years ago this whole incident would have had me turned upside down, pissed off and left me feeling like a victim and probably mad as heck at having to fork over $89 for my mistake. Instead today I felt GRATEFUL!!!

Anyways, just wanted to say thank you for the bits of wisdom you pass on and share with us. I have truly taken them to heart and implemented them in my life and what a change it has made. THANK YOU!!
