On November 1st, I decided to challenge myself to post on my Facebook page what I am thankful for, for 30 days. I have seen other people do it in the past and I didn’t have much interest then. This year I felt different about it. Maybe, because I was sick last year and it made me realize the things that I was not able to do then, I was able to do now. I know some people get annoyed by it and I use to be one of those persons. As I started thinking of things that were a blessing in my life, not perfect, but a blessing I started being more grateful. I started noticing more of what was right and less on what I didn’t have or wasn’t right. It’s easy to dwell on the negative and on those things you want to see change than to have Faith that certain situations are only temporary and things will change in God’s timing not ours. You can rest assure though that you will start to notice the little blessings, the little changes in your life when you begin to be grateful with what you have now. Let’s not forget especially during the Holidays that it isn’t what you have or things being perfect in your life that make you happy but it’s about being grateful for what you do have that makes you Happy. If you have God in your life, then you have everything, you lack nothing!!
