God Bless My Good Sensed CoWorker

My coworker told me about a recent settlement he received from a car accident he was in months prior. Nobody can deny the gift that is, especially when you're months past the point of expecting such a reward -  and especially when the price of groceries makes no damn sense right now…

He went on to share just how blessed he is, but I’m not sure if he was speaking to me, or if I had the good fortune of being in the same room as him as he reflected. I watched as his expression began to change as he spoke of his blessings - leaned back in his chair, body facing away from his desk, and head slightly tilted up as he contemplated his place in the world. I’ve been in a similar posture a time or two myself. I too have contemplated my place in the world, but my outlook hasn’t always been as bright. My coworker inspired me without that ever being his intention. To see a soul possess the ability to shamelessly and intentionally speak on the blessing that they regularly experience, inspired me in a way that I could not have expected. Intentional appreciation for one’s life is a skill I am practicing more of, although not as successfully as I would like, however some things are meant to be a continued practice. I never anticipated the fresh perspective that would fall on my own outlook on life from seeing it modeled, this intentional appreciation for one’s life. My coworker shared something with me that I hope to share with someone else in the future. Living with appreciation in your heart is beautiful. Being able to show someone how to live in that practice, on a personal level, is a gift.
