Attitude of Gratitude

By Marti MacGibbon, CADC II, ACRPS

Attitude is everything. Gratitude is the ultimate attitude adjustment. John is a manager with a software firm, and although he recalls being enthusiastic about his job during his first year in the position, he now questions why he keeps coming to work each day. John feels pressed and harried by his staff, and feels helpless to motivate them. Every complaint and annoying personnel issue seems to end up on his desk. He gets flustered when confronted with what he perceives to be neediness on the part of others. John feels stressed and unappreciated in his career, but is careful to “stuff” his emotions in order to appear cool and objective. Read more...

New Thoughts: New Heights

New Thoughts: New Heights

Over the years we have developed habits. According to the Webster’s dictionary there are many descriptions of what a habit is. For the purpose of this article I want to focus on the habit of our mindset. Whether it’s a good or bad habit depends on the effect it has on your life.

How do you love when you’ve lost your love?

How do you love when you’ve lost your love? by Dr. Laurel Clark

This year will be ten years since my husband died. I waited quite awhile to find the man of my dreams. We were in our late 30’s when we married, and then he died only six years later from complications of juvenile diabetes.

For the first few years after his death, Valentine’s Day was a melancholy occasion. I was deeply in love with my husband, we were great friends, and I just missed him. I’d see commercials for all kinds of romantic get-togethers, flowers, chocolates, and be sad that I no longer had a sweetheart. Read more...
