Hi All!
Sorry I have been so absent lately, things are just extremely busy for me right now. I have been working with a business coach and he is helping me as a person, not just a businessman. With that being said, I want to share with you one of the exercises he has been having me do daily which I think has helped me a lot deal with the stresses of every day life. Each day for 21 days, I write down 3 things I am grateful for. That's it! Why is this important? We all tend to hold onto the negative things in life, instead of stepping back and appreciating everything that is good in our lives. I encourage you to try this, and remind yourself everything you have in your life that you are grateful for. It can be anything and everything from your health, to friends on this board, a beating heart, a roof over your head, etc. I think you can all find this helpful in reeling in the emotions that can cause us undue stress each day. Make your own list and post it here for the next 21 days. Can you commit to that?

My daily list:
1) God
2) My Family
3) My Health

Lets see yours now 🙂

I am very grateful for the choices i have in my life now! I can choose what foods to eat or to grow, i can choose what to throw out. I can choose what i want to do with my time almost every day! I could not ask for more! 😀 ~♡~

I am grateful for the soft jazz album (Nat King Cole Trio) my brother had playing when I woke up and started my first cup of coffee. Ahhh, 1950s jazz!

I am grateful (actually, ECSTATIC !!!) that my 99 year old roof was replaced yesterday. The nightmare is now a beautiful dream. Now I REALLY want the rest of my house to be as functional and beautiful as the new roof. I am also grateful for all those involved in the replacement. They have renewed my faith in "Getting it Done". NEVER GIVE UP !
