This week's thought is brought to you by the number 4. And not just because this week's VOW is Sesame Street inspired. No, it's brought to you by the number four because I'm thinking about the four things that really matter, in anyone's life, and that they need, regardless of who they are.
We all have four basic things to be thankful for: friends, family, mental and physical health. Friends because they make us feel like the world is a safe place, family because they keep us safe when it's not, and our health needs to be good so that we can enjoy our lives and the company of friends and family to the fullest, and so that we can pursue our dreams.
I know that this weekend, I am very thankful for the people that help keep me balanced, and help me remember what is important in my life. I am happy to be spending time in the right kind of way, and I am very happy that I can remember to be thankful for the things that matter.
If we are missing one of those 4 necessary things, somehow life seems a little more bleak, a little less interesting. What I sometimes need to remember, in all the hustle, is that life is meant to be fun, to be enjoyed, and to be spent loving other people. Any other form is simply a shadow of what should be.
So, look for things in the day to be thankful for. Happiness is on the rise, as long as you let it be.

I'm thankful to have you as friend and to keep my balance ;)
Sorry I missed you in Saskatoon. I was in Calories http://www.caloriesrestaurants.com/ and felt your presence there. Go figure!
Anon,
I have no idea if you're a person or an advertisement, but I went to calories, and yes, I ate too much.
I'm glad you're my friend as well, Alex. =)
