Thanksgiving

A friend of mine who trains under Shihan Nishiuchi shared this anecdote. Shihan Nishiuchi asked - “Who are the most unhappy people?” The students did their best to answer until Shihan answered it himself - “The people who have no appreciation.” What a wonderful, simple observation.

My life is blessed. It is filled with positive, compassionate people who make me want to improve myself every day. I am grateful for the teachers in my life whose priceless lessons have brought me to where I am - here, now, happy.

“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
