Comments on: Appreciation is About Finding the Silver Linings {Ben Wilcox} http://www.lifeschocolates.com/appreciation-revolution/appreciation-is-about-finding-the-silver-linings-ben-wilcox/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:09:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: benjamintwilcox http://www.lifeschocolates.com/appreciation-revolution/appreciation-is-about-finding-the-silver-linings-ben-wilcox/comment-page-1/#comment-941 benjamintwilcox Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:02:30 +0000 http://www.lifeschocolates.com/?p=580#comment-941 I do believe that I have been able to have my eyes opened to different ways of life because of the events of the past year. But there are so many others who are without a job right now with mortgage payments and children and many other burdens that I don't have to face. When Sam asked me to write for the Appreciation Revolution, I really connected with the message on a personal level. I do feel that I have much more to be appreciative for than others here in the United States and around the world. It is a privilege just to be alive, one that we don't realize enough in our daily lives. Thank you for your comment and for your support, I have no doubt in my mind that things will get better and I am working hard to get there every day.

I suppose a good way to look at this is that our job isn't our life. Although it generates an income that helps create a life, there are other options and maybe it allows you to see things (like you mention) that you were never able to see or realize before.<br><br>You're right, there are many people in your position. So you're not alone in your plight. I really appreciate (pun intended;) your quote at the top, because even as I have a job, each day that I walk into the office I think that. Or if I'm having a bad/challenging day at work, I remember the gratitude we should have everyday. Just to be alive even! Well, I could go off here, but I wanted to thank you for writing this post and I also wish you the best of luck. I have no doubt that something better, maybe different and surprising, will be coming your way :) Ben, I understand your frustration but I'm also happy to see the silver lining and appreciation you're finding throughout your life.
