Five People
I woke up the next day not looking forward to the funeral.
When I trained addiction counselors, I always gave them three or four gratitude exercises. The only one that raised eyebrows was asking them to name five people they were grateful they were not. Some thought it was a cold approach to gratitude.
I thought of five people. Some names were serious, others not so much.
I was grateful I wasn’t Katie. I had a heavy heart, but I was alive with a full day ahead of me. I was grateful I wasn’t my wife. She had to put with me. I was grateful I wasn’t a fan of certain NFL teams. The list went on.
Today I’ll make a list of five people I’m glad I’m not.
