Attitude of Gratitude

This is going to sound a bit cheesy, but I wanted to explain the reason I named my blog attitude of gratitude. I feel very thankful, blessed and lucky for everything that has come my way over the course of my life. And that starts with my being able to follow my passion for travel and go to many interesting countries around the world over the years. And even though I complain sometimes about the amount I have to travel for work, I am very appreciative that I have been sent to some really great and interesting places over the last few years. Blind luck, I tell you.

I also have had this fantastic opportunity to live and work in Europe, something I had always dreamed of doing before actually moving here. My parents are British, and I’ve always wanted to move closer to my roots and experience the culture and lifestyle in Europe like how they might have grown up. I cannot tell you how living here has enriched my life and expanded my mind to other cultures and ways of thinking/being. The chance to move and work here has been something that has forever changed my outlook on life.

And I’m generally lucky. As long as I can remember, I haven’t ever wanted or wished for anything. My whole life has fortunate in that way. Knock on wood. I even once won $500 playing bingo. See, that proves it, I’m lucky…

My hope is that this blog demonstrates in some small way the appreciation I have for all the great things I have in my full life and for all I’ve experienced. I want to express how thankful I am each and every day for all the good things that come my way. And thus, here you have it, in very few words, Attitude of Gratitude.
