Grateful for simple things

November 23, 2007 By Mary E. Knippel

Simple Abundance tells us that the simpler we make our lives, the more abundant they become. Well, my life doesn’t seem to be simpler, but it certainly is abundant! Wednesday when I usually post in this space, I was preoccupied with other thoughts. I was totally immersed in having my daughter home for a long visit. We made plans to go shopping in the City after my check-up with my breast cancer surgeon. I’m sure my anxiety about that doctor visit also crowded out any thoughts about writing on Wednesday as well. I just wanted to get to that appointment, have her pronounce me “in absolute good health” and send us on our way to Nordstrom’s.  I have not reached the magic milestone where recurrence of the cancer is not always lingering in the back of my mind. Perhaps it will always be on the periphery of my thoughts. And as long as I’m making doctor appointments every six months I have too much physical evidence not to have it on my mind. Happily, my doctor examined me and pronounced me healthy at my appointment. My daughter and I went on to lunch and an afternoon of shopping surrounded by that wonderful pink bubble of good will and relief.  My life is not simple. I doubt that life is simple for anyone. It is messy, complicated and full of wonderful surprises.  I am so grateful for everything (simple and otherwise) and everyone in my life:  receiving a good report from the doctor, enjoying lunch and an afternoon of shopping with my daughter, sitting down to dinner with my daughter and husband, knowing that the rest of my family is healthy and I have the opportunity to tell them I love them and how grateful I am to have them in my life. I’m grateful for this amazing life I’ve been given and those I’m privileged to share it with. Thank you—

Perfect Quotes

  • Testimonial: We invited Mary Knipple to be one of the featured speakers at the 2022 Women to Women Network Inspire! event. She had previously led a guided conversation for one of our smaller monthly events around “Your Story, Why It Matters and How to Tell It.” Her insights and speaking style resonated so well with our audience that we wanted to have Mary at the annual conference for a deeper dive and more hands-on workshop. She did not disappoint! Mary took Inspire attendees on their own personal journey and helped them unlock their individual stories. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from attendees who have expressed how much they enjoyed the writing exercise and how much easier it is now for them to tap into stories they didn’t even know they had, let alone how to use them to better connect on a personal level with their own audience. Thank you again for everything, Mary! Liz Liz Hatcher, founder Women to Women Network
