A Shot of Expresso for your morning coffee- 02

It’s something about waking up on Friday morning that gives me a feeling of extreme Gratitude. I don’t know where it comes from or why it generates inside of me but it just does. Maybe it’s knowing that the weekend is here. Maybe its just knowing that I’ve made it through another week without everything going according to plan. Either way, that Friday Feeling is something that I along with most other people experience quite often.
The weekend usually symbolizes a break from work for most people but not for me or the field I work in. A lot of the time I get so caught up in how things are going that I usually forget to remember the things that I have to be GRATEFUL for. Like most people I too get lost in paying bills, buying things I want, and making more money.
It’s good to have money and the things money can buy, but it’s also good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven’t lost the things that money cant buy.
Whatever the day holds for me, I try to practice having an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude is one of the strongest human emotions. I find that whenever I express it my attitude changes, it brightens my outlook on any situation, and it opens up my perspective. If you’re reading this my hope is that in any situation you encounter, you practice having an attitude of gratitude. Find something positive about every situation you find yourself in. Whether you woke up with that “friday feeling” or not, whether you’re off this weekend or you have to work, don’t forget to take a moment to focus on the things and the people that you have in your life that most people would be GRATEFUL to have in theirs. I hope this helps you out. Love ya. See ya when I see ya. Rickie Tedford Jr
