The Truth of Gratitude...

During his appointment with me this morning, my client began to show tears of gratitude for the blessings he has in his life. He was recounting to me his recent, very first experience swimming a race in San Francisco Bay, very appreciative that his body, after 60 + years, has brought him through that strenuous, intimidating event. He spoke of completing his first triathlon in his not too distant past. He then set about reflecting on his life in general, his children, his grandchildren, his friends... I was honored that he was sharing it all with me.

Mr. W is new to my practice. I find him to be a genuine, sweet, well spoken man. I don't know much about his world save for what I have already written, as well as the fact that he is retired and recently widowed. This man lying on my table has lost his wife to cancer just a year or so ago and is now finding himself so overwhelmed with joy. Despite his lost, he is grateful!

I am grateful! Grateful for clients who see me worthy of their trust!
