121 - Roses and Thorns
from Coffee With Genny B
“Some people grumble that roses have thorns. I am grateful that thorns have roses.” - Alphone Kerr In this episode, Genny spoke about recently celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving; a time to give thanks for the good in your life. She thought about whether we should offer thanks every day, perhaps in the form of affirmations of gratitude or writing down things that we are grateful for each day. She shared the story of how she asks her students at the University of Winnipeg PACE to share a rose (one thing they are grateful for that day) and a thorn (one challenge that the are experiencing that day). Her friend Natalie Suppes introduced her to that concept a few years ago. Sometimes, you need to stop and smell the roses, and appreciate the beauty and wonder in your life; and be mindful of the thorns and try to minimize the discomfort in your life.
