Gratitude Update
In my March blog post, I shared a little about the power of gratitude and wanted to share the fruits of my gratitude efforts with you.
I sent 18 gratitude letters and many people replied (some good and others not as good as I was hoping for), but here is one of the good outcomes - 2 amazing people I took out to lunch. One is Kar Hei, who I thanked for getting me started on my weight loss journey 2 years ago. We celebrated me losing 50 pounds in less than 2 years. The other is a 94-year-old client, Harvey, who I have not seen since the pandemic. He’s sort of my personal psychologist and I thanked him because he's the one who convinced me to never stop working since I love what I do. He was commuting into NYC once a week before the pandemic and still seeing clients at age 90. An inspiration.
A wise 94-year-old man who worked his whole life and a 41-year-old man in amazing physical condition - someday (when/if I grow up) I want a part of what I learned from each of them to stay with me. I'm grateful that Harvey and Kar Hei are a part of my life.
