Today is Mother’s Day.
I’m grateful to my mom
for everything she has done for me.
Of course, she’s human
and she makes mistakes
but I learn from her mistakes
and they give me permission to be human also.
I understand
if someone doesn’t feel grateful for her mom.
Not everyone has
as wonderful a mom
as I do.
However, if I ask the question
“Whom are you grateful
to have in your life?”
and that someone doesn’t name at least one person,
I become leery about doing business with them.
Why?
Because
she won’t be grateful
to have me in her life.
She won’t be grateful
for what I do for her.
She certainly won’t return a favor
she didn’t appreciate
in the first place.
Gratitude is an emotion
to look for
in business partners.
