Gratitude is the way!

Every morning when I awake, I look up at my ceiling and I give thanks. I then start to name off all the things in my life I am thankful for, my home, my children, my friends, my health, and the list just goes on. By the time that I touch the floor, my mood is elevated and I realize that my life is wonderful just as it is now. There is an old saying that if you go into a room full of people and you lay your problems down and compare then to the problems of others you will pick yours back and leave with them.

When you give thanks for the things that you have in your life right now, you open the way for God to give you more.I have even began to write down 5 things a night that I am thankful for that happen to me that day, so I go to sleep feeling thankful. Open your mouth, give praise and change your life!

I am having a moment

Workout, meetings, phone calls, lunch, busy, busy , busy.Today I haven't really even had time to breathe however my 13 year itch has had time to creep in. How do you stop the memories of someone that you have loved as long as you can remember?

Sometimes there's pain, sometimes there's laughter, but I truly miss him. I have so many wonderful things in my life,good family, good friends, I own a wonderful business but my love life is in the pitts..... Can we not be successful and have love? Do we compromise ourselves because we get so busy that we over compensate? What is it, where is the balance?

Why do I always seem to drift back to the memories of someone that I allowed to hurt me so badly? Because it's comfortable? I pray for guidance Lord.


Chow for now....
