One of my favorite things to do is sip a $5 sangria at The Grove. After eating some tasty proscuitto, bread and fresh figs with some friends, our waiter told me that the best thing in life is having gratitude. I have to concur with him (and with Oprah) and agree that being thankful is the best cure for burnout, stress, depression, or just a really crappy day. It shifts your thinking from IMPOSSIBLE to I'M POSSIBLE. And, helps you be present in the moment which is probably the secret to having a beautiful life.
May you find something or someone to be thankful for this October.
