Do you appreciate?

After I came back to york, I read a X'mas card from my friend. She has long been trying her best to become a trainee of clinical psychology. In the letter, she wrote that she wants to study hard, appriciating a patient support around her. This simple message struck me, because I thought I have been quite unaware of supports I am receiving, directly and indirectly. There are those who really think about me and try to support you. Do you really appreciate that they are there to help me? Do you thank them? How can you show your appreciation? I want to thank my friend that she let me start thinking about these things.

I have heard a few days ago that she (who wrote me a letter) has passed the exam and is going to be a trainee from April. Congratulation for her!!! I would like to follow her example and turn my appreciation into action, and then to a result.


前は視野が狭くなり自分のことしか見えなくて甘えていたけれど、
してもらったこと、今日生かされて過ごしているという幸せを見失わずに
感謝してPositiveに日々努力をしていこうと少しずつ進んでいます。

友人のカードにこうありました。
これは、「僕は僕は」、「私は私は」と思っていたら絶対に出て来ない、
まっすぐで、とても素敵なコトバだと思います。

人に感謝するということ。
それを地道な行動に、そして結果に変えていくということ。
その素晴らしい例をみせてくれた彼女に感謝です。
見習うところ、たくさんあります。
