I woke up this morning and took a long breezy ride on my new Schwinn bike.   This experience stirred up many gratitude memories – the bargain price, finding it in stock, right in my home town, how pretty it is (even though it is white and purple, not indigo), the discounts I nabbed on the accessories, a new option for transportation, and the pleasant exercise challenge cycling offers.  Every time I pass my bike in the garage, I can’t help but smile and feel all happy inside.

In 1980 I had the opportunity to study for a summer in Vienna, Austria. Learning the German language was a huge part of this immersion program. While I haven’t retained much conversational ability, I have always had a favorite German word. That word is “vielleicht” and translates to mean “perhaps”. It is used liberally in daily conversation, often as the first word in a sentence. I remember how much I loved the sound and feeling of this word.  The pronunciation of the word sounds like "FEEL LIGHT"!  It was a constant reminder to feel light. As a word with such an uplifting quality. I often wondered why it was not a word we use much in American English.

Ever have one of those days when you felt unappreciated, alone and just plain sad inside? That was me last Friday. A series of small things like cancelled appointments and news that only 3 people had registered for an upcoming workshop had somehow convinced me that I wasn’t valuable or appreciated. At the end of a very busy week, my spirit sunk very low.

What to do?
