There’s also the opportunity to find things to be grateful for. So this…
While I’m a big fan of great customer service, it’s all about people service, regardless of the status – customer, friend, fellow-passenger, fellow-human-being really. Today was a sad day for us as we fare-welled a long-time family friend, who we last saw recently at Lyndon’s dad’s funeral. Naturally, at a time like this, everyone involved…
I’m grateful for the journey of this past 100 Days, and grateful for those who have shared the journey. I’m grateful to Glenda for our conversation in Orange which kicked off this discipline, which has been good for me, and has impacted others. I’m grateful that I can develop in my skills (adding photos and…
I’m grateful that I spent Day 99 in my hometown, celebrating the Cooee Festival, which commemorates the World War One recruitment march from Gilgandra to Sydney in 1915.

Today I’m happy to say that I’m grateful to have sent my completed book to the publisher. I took the printed book down to Stephen’s Patisserie to read it and enjoy a great coffee and a different environment. Of course I found a few typo’s that have slipped past many proofreaders eyes, so I came…
Tonight I’m grateful for the energy to stay focused on the final edits and layout of my book, Lifting the Lid on Quiet Achievers, and grateful that Lyndon and Ethan decided that tonight would be a good night to go out for dinner and celebrate the completion of the book. We’re so close we thought…
I’m grateful for wonderful books. I came across this one, Everyday Greatness, (Stephen R Covey, David K Hatch) at the library last week when Ethan was stocking up.
