 From Board Chair  

David Russell, Adventist Health / Adventist Medical Center  

  
    David Russell Attitude of Gratitude          
 

Many days life throws us challenges we would not choose to face. We often get focused on "why me." We become stressed, angry, and take our frustration out on coworkers, customers, friends and family. This does nothing to resolve these challenges and certainly doesn't make anyone around us feel good. Rather than becoming stressed, another option is to make the conscious decision to have a positive attitude, seeing the challenges as opportunities. I like to think of this approach as living life with an attitude of gratitude.
