It's so hard to believe that we are already at the end of October! Before we know it, we will be ringing in 2014!
For some of us, 2013 has been a wonderful year, for some it has been filled with stress and heartache, and for a few, just another year has passed. One thing I know for sure, is that even though not every day is good, there IS good in every day. That leads me to one of my favorite activities this time of year:
Every November, I do what I call 'A month of Thankful'.
Every day I post something on Facebook I am thankful for. It could be anything...something as significant as the wonderful people in your life (make sure you single them out, it can make someone's day to know they have helped make your day/life a good one), or as simple as that first cup of coffee you have in the silence of your home before the rest of the world wakes up and you have to start the day. Or how good your bed feels as you climb in and go to sleep at night. It's much easier to focus on our struggles and to forget all the wonderful things/moments/people we have in our lives. I myself have faced some struggles recently that make it hard to focus on the positive, and that makes me think it is even more crucial that I participate in the 'Thankful posts' this year. I think you will be surprised on how something so simple can change your outlook on the day. Please join me in sharing with your friends, loved ones, the world, everything that you're thankful for. Until next time, have a fun, safe Halloween and a wonderful holiday season!
