As I count down these last seven days in my Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness series, I will be focusing on some individuals who have had an impact on my life in general and particularly this year. Today I am thankful for my mom. I am thankful that every year since the doctors initially found she had colon cancer, not one day after her surgery did she have to go through chemotherapy. More important, I am grateful that God has kept her here. I am especially grateful for special moments, like when I have insights or some deep revelation that I just have to get off my chest. When I hit a topic that causes her to go into a lengthy discussion with me, then I know I have peaked her interest. (ha ha!) Many people wish they had one more day with their mom. If you still have yours, make sure she knows how you feel about her. Do not live with regrets.
We all hope to learn from our own experiences but there are those times when we also glean from others. These lessons offer great opportunities for stimulating our minds or emotions to a higher level: inspiration. Life itself is full of inspiration, whether it's from witnessing the simplicity or complexity in nature or finding valuable lessons in the things we encounter on a daily basis. Ultimately the hope is that inspiration evokes positive change in our lives on a daily basis.
