more livable

Spending time each day reflecting on something that I am thankful for has not always been an easy task: however; it continues to bless my heart with joy and reminds me where I need to focus my energy.

Admittedly, this task has been more difficult than I thought it would be. I am a pretty optimistic person. I tend to look at things as lessons and opportunities rather than failures and challenges. Regardless, there are still days when I feel like I am holding on by a string. Days when I feel unappreciated, overwhelmed, over-tasked, and even unwelcome... And those days and those feelings SUCK! (If you are like me, on those nights you look forward to the next morning to hurry up so you can start all over again.) 

I know am not alone. I am human and these feelings are part of living. No matter how negative the feelings may be they still help me to be true to myself and my life goals. They remind me how I want to be with people around me and for that... I am thankful.
