Be Grateful For Each Day

Every day is a gift.

We’ve all heard that before, right?

But I want to emphasize that every day truly is a gift.

Things can happen—unexpected things. They do happen, and they will continue to happen. And yes, they can happen to you too.

This is life.

We need to let go of the mindset that we are better than anyone else. I mean, anyone.

Each of us has a story; every human has faced challenges.

To think that scary, unexpected events won’t touch you is an illusion.

We must recognize that each day is as fragile as the next and acknowledge how desperately we need one another.

Don’t let the petty things ruin your day.

Treat each day as the gift that it truly is.

Make Time For Things You Enjoy

As a child fun seems to always be at reach. It’s tangible. It’s free. It’s easy. Children can find joy in the littlest of things. The spark they gather in their eyes is pure magic.

As we get older life happens.

The colors that were once so vibrant in our life begin to fade. No longer are we new, we’ve developed cracks and have broken pieces that we don’t know what to do with.

It’s so important, it’s so necessary, it’s vital I would say to bring that inner child back to life as we age.

Fun needs to become a priority and we have to make time for it as crazy as that is.

“I have to make time for fun?”

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT YES!!!

The more we incorporate the things we once enjoyed as children believe it or not those dull colors in your life become bright once again.

Maybe those colors never went dull to begin with, the light was just on a dim setting.

And those broken pieces? Let fun be the super glue.

You deserve to laugh, you deserve to smile, you deserve to feel joy in our life.

Make that time.
