We've all been there. We've all hit our rut at some point in time, and it was nearly impossible to see the sun shining through the cloudy skies. But for 2018, I've been learning to be more appreciative of the little things that reminds me I'm in way better position than it appears.
You woke up this morning
You have a job
You have a car
You have at least one good friend
You ate something today
You have a roof over your head
Someone loves you
You love someone too
You paid your bills this month
You have at least five outfits in your closet
You're healthy
You have time to enjoy a hobby
You can make decisions for yourself
Can you say that any of these apply to you? Trust me...you're doing pretty good.
I agree with you 100% , we need to stop and have gratitude for all the wonderful things that we DO have and not focus on what we DON'T have.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Thanks for reading
DeleteThis is such a thoughtful post! It is so important to be thankful for what we have all the time, especially when we are feeling down.
ReplyDeleteVery true. These small reminders really help
DeleteLove this! It’s so important to look to the little things in life and be grateful 💗
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It's so easy to overlook them.
DeleteThanks for the reminder that even when things look really bleak, they really aren't so bad! I really needed it. My chronic pain has been flaring up, and I was starting to feel sorry for myself, but you're right, I have a huge list of things to be grateful for :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could help you feel better. Definitely a lot of things to be grateful for when you really think about it.
DeleteSo positive and uplifting, just what I needed on a dull Tuesday evening! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help lift your spirits. Thanks for reading
DeleteVery true! I could use a dose of this perspective every morning. I sometimes focus to much on the wrongs.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to get into the habit of focusing on the wrongs. Takes time to appreciate the little things.
DeleteIts funny how at first, as i was going through the list, i couldn't help but think to myself "but those are obvious..." But then i backtracked and really thought about it. Everything you mentioned is an absolute gift, never to be taken for granted. thank you :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! You're right. The little things are so very important because even if it's the norm for you, there is surely someone that can't say they have these things. Thanks for reading.
