COMMENTARY: Today is OSU orientation for my eldest daughter. I awakened thinking all the way back to her preschool days. There were forms to fill out. One question on one form was - How do you discipline your child? Talking with the Director of the preschool, she shared with me how many people answer that question negative... citing time-outs, taking things away and yes, spanking. She commented that positive reinforcement and rewards would be considered discipline too - but those are rarely mentioned. This morning, that conversation got me thinking about wealth. Sure, I know many blessed financially with all of the beautiful trappings -- but wealth isnt always about money. Today people I know are struggling with unemployment, unhappy relationships, trying to overcome addictions; some undergoing surgery, chemo and rehab. For others it may be loneliness. It seems at times; we experience hardship and sadness so that we can better appreciate the good -- while other times we get to experience and ride the crest of the highest wave taking in every moment. Today I wake up feeling wealthy. Not for monetary reasons -- but because life is a gift which affords us the opportunity to become something more. There is a saying that life is like a coin -- to spend any way you wish but you only get to spend it once. Today, Im going to squeeze every penny out of it! Just my two cents -- but hope today we all feel rich! Happy Monday!
