Always Grateful In Sad Times - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thurs. 7-10-25 #1609

Again, amazing like always I see a post of something when I need it the most. Late yesterday I found out a former student of mine passed away. I know his family well as I also taught his two siblings. His two parents are a big part of the school community where I taught for 30 years. The post came from POSITIVITY (@PositivitySaid) where it was an image of 3 framed pictures on the wall over a couch. The three pictures each had a part of a quote that went together. There were three main words and smaller ones underneath. It went like this: “GRATEFUL for the small things, FOR the big things & EVERYTHING in between.”  In my tearful reflections over this happening, I thought of the conversations I had with this student and members of his family over the years. Lots of laughter and love along with a few tears here and there too. It also reminded me how blessed I have been to have ALL my former coworkers, students, that community, etc., that poured into me in so many ways, that my life became better from all of it.  Please - continue to think about ways where you (we) can simply just keep focused on getting better along with treating each other with more love, kindness, empathy, compassion, etc. We need each other to look out for each other and help each other to be our best. When we keep working to be our best, we all benefit in so many ways.  Sending lots of love, prayers, positive thoughts along with a little action behind things to keep getting better - all to his family, his many friends and our school community.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: [email protected]     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
