Tis The Season To Count Your Blessings

Tis the season to count your blessings! I’m not certain why it takes the cooler months to get some of us in our thankful feels, but better late than never, right? With all of the negativity that we are surrounded by in this crazy world, I once again feel compelled to shine some light!

Sometimes you just have to take a step back.

In the past it was SO easy for my happiness to be shaken. Recently when faced with adversity I have been asking myself, “in the big scheme of life, will this one tiny moment actually matter?” 9.2 times out of 10, it won’t.

It’s also so easy to get caught up in our celebrity & social media driven society.

Rather than focusing on materialistic values, focus on who you are on the inside, how you can positively impact those around you & remind yourself daily to stay positive.

No matter what is going on in your life, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for!

Stay blessed & don’t forget to be a blessing, too.
