Silver Linings and Thankfulness

Nov 24, 2020 | Mindset

It was back in March when my client, Kristen, asked me, “Karen, what are your silver linings?” She meant, “What are your silver linings related to COVID-19?”

I hadn’t heard that or thought of it that way, but I immediately paused and thought of a few. I am particularly grateful this challenging year for so many silver linings. Here are some of mine:

My health and the ability to take long walks.

My friends who are willing to walk with me and make me laugh and smile.

Technology that makes it easy for me to work.

Meditation and the ability to quiet my busy and oftentimes cluttered brain. 

My colleagues who make me laugh and cut me a lot of slack.

My clients who give my life fulfillment, distraction during COVID-19, purpose and income. 

The beautiful fall leaves.

Nature.

My home office.

My home.

My wonderful family and their frequent texts and phone calls.

My hope is that during this holiday season, you will find ways to celebrate in safer and quieter ways. I appreciate you.
