Thankful for...

This past Thanksgiving morning WIP had two classes each with 30 people in attendance.  Luis coached two amazing sessions with help from Amy and Karisa.  It was WIP’s first charity bootcamp and it was amazing. The combination of generous donations and auction items raised over $6,000 for JDRF.  My family and I were blown away by the outpouring of support, I still can’t wipe the smile off of my face. I am dropping off the donations at the JDRF office this week, so if you would like to still donate or you have to pay for your winning bid on an item please drop off your check or cash at the gym. Endless Thank You’s to Laura, Luis, Amy, Karisa and all of the people who donated items to the auction and all who bid on them and to everyone that came out and had your butts kicked for a great cause.  THANK YOU!

At Yoga yesterday, Lisa Jones, finished the practice by reading this poem and it was incredibly moving, I wanted to share..

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.
