Attitude of Gratitude

"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread.  They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances..." - Victor Frankl

Today, I had to run around and get documents for my application for the Certified Addiction Specialist certification and I met with my former probation officer, one of the best people I have met in Orlando, and I met with the director of Crossroads Treatment Center, again a truly wonderful person.  Both women gave me encouragement and cared about me because they know that I care about others...I try to be the one giving away my bread...but today, I am hungry.I have given it all away.


I am grateful for so, so many things, but today I am grateful that I know this is just a day, just one day.
