I don’t know about you, but I am thankful to see a brand new day and a brand new month.

I’m hoping that everyone who is reading this is having a wonderful day. I’m hoping that even if there are clouds up above, that there is a ray of sunshine somewhere in your life.

However, I am well aware that someone out there is going through something. If we’re honest with ourselves, we’d all admit that we have some stuff, big or little, that we’re dealing with right now. It could be family, friend, career, health, financial, or one of many other issues. Few, if any of us have gotten to this point in life problem free.

We are all human, doing our very best to stay above board. Random acts of kindness are priceless and you never know what impact they can have on someone. I am taking this time to send each of you a bit of support via words, to comfort you and remind you that You Matter. Always see the glass as half full vs. half empty and don’t ever stop living your truth.

Whether we realize it or not, we have each been blessed with strengths and gifts. Some days we feel powerful and go through life feeling amazing. Some days we are filled with poise, grace and stamina and nothing or no one can touch our positive spirit. Then there are days when we feel like we’re in pure survival mode, running on empty just trying to maintain. Being able to put our feet on the floor in the morning and subsequently return to lay our head on our pillow at night, can sometimes feel like a major accomplishment.

Whatever your day is like today, I pray that you make the most of it. You woke up this morning and are alive to see it. Be reminded that a whole bunch of folk didn’t. Count your blessings.

Thanks for being a part of my journey and for being an audience that is receptive to simple words, emotions and expressions. I am a work in progress, striving to be the very best ME that I can be. Many of you are in the very same boat and I wish you well in your personal journey. I’m also sending a big hug to those who want one, but more importantly, to those who need one.

In return I ask that you simply Pay It Forward, Be an ear for someone, TODAY. Tell someone that you love them unconditionally, TODAY. Uplift a person in need, TODAY. If not TODAY, when?

Enjoy
