Just Appetizers

Last week some major things took place in my life.

It not only stretched me but it also allowed me to see how much I had grown.

Feb. was filled with execution, unexpected news, and an engagement.

If this post is all over, try and follow me:)

Although we are only in the third month and first quarter of 2019 it already feels full.

The difference for me in this year, is how clear my vision is.

Having years in the past that were full is not an uncommon for me.

However there has been years that I wasn’t sure what I was doing.

Today I can look back on the weeks that has taken place and smile.

Do not misunderstand me, I have cried already in this year over things out of my control.

What I smile about is this new place and the new me who is growing.

My growth is happening inside, so most will not see it.

Last year this time, I was trying to figure things out.

This year, I have a clear view of what is taking place.

All my circumstances have not changed, some are still the same.

It is me who has changed.

I am smiling, and reflecting on how often we believe if things change we will be happy.

My happiness is my responsibility.

Once I renewed my attitude to thankful, a shift happened in my heart and mind.

You really can change your world with your attitude.

Each day this year one of my non negotiable is to be thankful.

Find the good in each day and think on that.

Even if that moment brings pain, I know it will help me grow.

Being thankful allows us to see our life in a place of hope.

Just wanted to share from my heart where I am and how I am doing.

Be sure to keep a check in list on yourself as well.

Do not move through this year so fast, you do not know where you are mentally.

Today I am sober, grateful and hopeful.
