Living the Positive Life

 When I wake up in the morning, every morning, before my feet touch the floor, I am thankful. I thank God for everything I have ever had. I thank him for the hard times. I thank him for the losses, because it means I was blessed to have had something I felt strongly enough about, to feel pain when it was lost. I'm thankful for the wins, and the things that didn't work out the way I wanted them. I am thankful for my gifts - and by gifts I mean the talents I possess. I acknowledge that my way is not always His will. I then tell God - I am open to receive more good things. And God always brings me more. I have learned that stress only breeds worry only breeds negativity only breeds seeking the negative things. When you look for and expect negative things, you will only see the negative things. 

So I challenge you today (who doesn't love a good challenge??) to only see the positive side of your day. ONE day. Today. Be thankful you have a job that brings home some money. Be thankful you have a house (even if it isn't a perfect and beautiful castle - and trust me I can say this one! If you've ever seen my house, you know I am qualified to tell others to be thankful for theirs haha. I am truly thankful for my "ugliest house in town"). Be thankful for the illness, or the muscle aches, or the poor vision, because you're still alive to feel these things. Be thankful for the traffic jam - it may have saved you from being in an accident. Be thankful that this place we are in is only temporary, and we have the freedom to change our situation. I challenge you to ask for ALL GOOD THINGS to come to you! I challenge you to BELIEVE! 

I am thankful for you all!!!
