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/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:18:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Leisa Dreps http://www.lifeschocolates.com/appreciation-revolution/appreciation-is-about-finding-the-silver-linings-ben-wilcox/comment-page-1/#comment-3036 Leisa Dreps Tue, 24 May 2011 19:53:00 +0000 http://www.lifeschocolates.com/?p=580#comment-3036 Hello Ben. I know it's been almost a couple of years ago since you wrote this, but I really appreciate your insights here. The economy is struggling these days, and it's nice to read these topics. People should put more optimisms every now and then for these hard times. Being grateful for things that come our way can possibly help the way we look at life. Driving an old car isn't a bad thing at all 'coz at least you have something to drive around town, to and fro your work and home. Lucky are those who are able to keep their jobs without complains. Anyway, how's your job now? Hello Ben. I know it’s been almost a couple of years ago since you wrote this, but I really appreciate your insights here.

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.
