I often find myself getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day.

This was especially true in my old job.

In retrospect, I can see how much of my attention was on getting stuff done...

And how rarely I took a step back to appreciate what I already had.

It's still true to some extent today.  I still put a lot of focus on "doing".

But I’m trying to spend more time being thankful for what I have in my life.

So here’s 8 things I’m grateful for today:

• My girlfriend.  For your support, your no-nonsense advice and the fact you’re in my life
• My family.  For always standing by me and the fun we have together 
• My friends.  For all the great times we’ve had and the great times we have to come 
• My coach.  For guiding, mentoring and encouraging me
• My coachees.  For your trust in me and your open mindedness.  I’m excited about what we’re creating together
• You.  I’m grateful that you’re reading this email right now. This email list wouldn’t exist without you
• My business.  I’m grateful that I’ve found work I enjoy and that I can help other people find work they enjoy too
• My health.  I try not to take it for granted

That’s it for today.
