I am so grateful for the multitude of experiences and opportunities throughout my life that have brought me so much joy. 🙌 Travel, new opportunities, seeing concerts and attending events, adventures with friends, being part of organizations that molded me professionally, and volunteer roles that have allowed me to give back to others. On the topic of joy, I recently saw the Rolling Stones in concert. 🎸It was a bucket list item for me (thank you, husband!) and was in awe of how much the entire band brought to the performance--especially after being in the business for seven decades. Most of us won’t be in the same gig for 60+years--not even close. The new reality is that most of us will need to reinvent ourselves or pivot to a new path--maybe even several times. This can feel like a letdown and disorientating. And not the plan we had envisioned. To paraphrase the Stones, we can’t always get what we want, and many times we can’t get no satisfaction. To find gratitude in those moments is hard. Getting off cruise control and pushed into a new lane can create opportunities for growth and learning new things. I’m grateful (sometimes belatedly) for times when I was forced out of my comfort zone, and grateful to have a bank of experiences and moments of joy to call on when the future feels cloudy and there are uncertain times ahead. Having an attitude of gratitude takes intention, but a reminder that we can do hard things. Let’s #KeepGoing together! #AttitudeofGratitude #MonthofGratitude #Intentions #Pivots

I will only comment on The Rolling Stones, Naomi Adams! I am glad you can cross that item off of your bucket list. #KeepGoing is good advice for all of us throughout life, as Mick continues to show us!
