Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

Like most people I’ve experienced my share of life’s highs and lows. I have to admit, I have taken a few times of abundance for granted, never anticipating that the tide would inevitably turn.

I’ve learned from all my experiences, but I’ve grown the most through my periods of draught. The times when I feel a lack of financial freedom, when I lose someone I love, when my health is suffering or when my spirit feels drained, teach me humility, compassion for others and most of all a deeper appreciation for the many gifts that I am granted. When I recognize what I have to lose, my gratitude grows stronger.

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.”
English Proverb

You don’t have to lose what is precious to you to appreciate it. Look around today and rather than feel a sense of lack about anything, be grateful and say thank you for all that you are and have been given.

About the Author : Marlene

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
