Grateful & Thankful Today

Feeling thankful and grateful today and thought I'd take a minute to write about it. The last few years have been crazy between breakups and new relationships and more breakups. Truly some of my darkest hours I think. I've met an incredible guy have been dating for six months now and things are somewhat calm in my life which is nice. I'm thankful for this wonderful man and the excitement he brings to my life. I'm thankful for a job that I love and has continued to sustain me financially and emotionally while going through all this change. I'm thankful for friends and family that love and support me through just about everything and every decision I make. I realize often when talking to clients how easy it is to get focused on the negative and the things we are missing in our life and catch myself doing the same often. I always encourage them to change this and is something I work towards myself. I feel like I've grown closer to God spiritually through all this and am happy about that! I've spent a lot of time in reflection the last few years as well as a lot of time running from emotions and feelings and am happy to say I'm well on my way to recovery in that aspect. I keep reminding myself it's ok to feel what I need to feel it's not ok to stay stuck in it for to long. Overall I'm feeling like I've learned and grown not necessarily by choice but glad that I walked through the pain and into the healing. I've thought several times just this week how short life is and how time seems to be going by so very quickly with age and that time spent in negative energy or sadness can consume that time if one's not careful. I choose to focus on the things I have in my life to be grateful for and thankful for rather then the things I'm missing today! Sending out positive love and energy in hopes it comes full circle! If you are stuck in the negative today it's as easy as making a decision to change it and that decision happens instantly. Also, something I heard a while back that I really liked and stood out which I will share in closing. Once you make a decision its instant and you follow through. Decisions don't have to be a long drawn out process and shouldn't be. Love to all be sure to love on your mom's this weekend! I will be missing mine but hopefully will see her soon!
