What a year it has been! Can we find things to be thankful for even within the downturns and uncertainty of the economy?
Maybe your year has included some very painful moments. Almost all of us are suffering, shocked by the burst bubble that we were happily living in. We were happy to move along while times were good without much thought about the future. It would take care of itself after all. Missteps were taken by a lot of people based on the general buoyancy of the county. Everyone felt they had the right to have it all without taking the steps to build a firm foundation to balance the future on. Now we need to refocus on basic common sense and go back to building our futures rather than borrowing easy money from nowhere to teeter on.
Spend time with friends and family and tell them they are loved.
Put someone else's happiness before your own, you will find yourself rewarded and happier for it.
Rather than thinking you need to spend money to be entertained, find joy in all the wonderful things available for free!
Each day start with a positive thought. Today something good will come and it will. Be on the lookout for it.
Ask for help when you need it. It helps others to be able to assist you.
Don't ask for help if you can make it on your own. Becoming dependent on others for everything is not good for your self confidence.
Have pride in your home, whatever that home may be today and start working to make it better.
Open yourself to the endless possibilities before you. You may be down now but the only way to go is up!
Practice random acts of kindness!
I will save a place at my virtual table for you.
Know you are loved.
