Gratitude List – 5 Reasons Why
Gratitude List - Who, What & 5 Reasons Why
A Gratitude List is something that is very personal. We all have experienced some form of gratitude. Gratitude is a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of expressing or displaying appreciation for something that one has received or will receive. The aim of a gratitude list is to help us focus on the good things in our life and to be grateful. At times, we all tend to just take things for granted. Writing a Gratitude List - helps us reflect on what's important in our life.
This week, as our USA friends celebrate Thanksgiving - a day of giving thanks - it got me thinking about my own gratitude list. There are so many things and so many people on my gratitude list that I am grateful for in my life, I could write an entire book on gratitude alone. (Don't panic, there's no book to buy... yet...lol.)
One of the people on my list is Shelagh McKibbon-U'Ren - Executive Director of UMT. I am so grateful for her kindness, patience, vision, "VERY FUSSY" editing, incredible blog writing and most importantly treasured friendship. She is truly a blessing in my life, as is the rest of the UMT Team.
As my list continues it includes:
- My Family - 5 beautiful talented musical children and 7 grandchildren.
- My Students - hundreds of them and their amazing parents.
- My Mentors - the ones that paved the way and inspire me to carry on.
- My Friends - which includes YOU - my very wonderful colleagues!
Then my Gratitude List turned to ONE person... my husband of 38 years - the legendary Ray St. Germain.
YEP, I had a little tear in my eye as I was thinking about and writing about the 5 Reasons I am grateful for him.
I am so grateful for my amazing husband Ray St. Germain because:
- So many years ago I fell in love with his incredible singing voice and the magical way that he connects with his audience when he performs.
- He always brings me a Tim's Coffee with 2 shots of vanilla bean and sometimes wraps a $20 bill around it if he got lucky and won at the slot machine (on his way to Tim's to get my coffee).
- He makes me laugh every day... he's just that funny and I LOVE seeing his dimples when he smiles at me.
- He is my greatest supporter in my business adventures and "pretends" to be interested in everything I do.
- He is the love of my life, my best friend and a wonderful role model for our children and grandchildren. I love you.
I also have deep gratitude for YOU.... my customer, my inspiration. YOU are the reason I work so hard, dream of how I can make your life easier, better, more fun, help you make more money, find new ways to connect with your students, create products, courses and ultimately shine a little light in the path of your life.
Thank YOU for supporting Ultimate Music Theory!
