It has been said that "Gratitude creates it's own attitude" and with all of the negativity that circles around us daily, sometimes we all need to take a step back, perhaps only a half-step back and pause - take a deep breath - reflect and begin again. Take a moment to identify at least one thing that's good in our lives.
While some days we may find that our plate is running over with reasons to smile, for many of us, there are far more reasons to count for being tired, stressed, frazzled, and wanting to find some kind of disconnect from everything. Regardless of our current situation or circumstance, we have all been there at one point or another. To be brutally honest, we've all been there, and it's very likely, at some point we'll all be there again.
If you're one of the lucky ones who hasn't been "there," it is likely that someone you know, or someone close to you has been.. so you know what I'm talking about..
In any case..
I'd like to declare this THANKFUL THURSDAY ~ and would like to encourage you to take pause. Think of one thing that you are grateful for today, and share it.
Sometimes that one thing, may be the reason you wear your smile for the rest of the day. Sometimes that "smile" you share, will be the reason that someone else begins to smile too.
A smile costs little but affords so much. Give one away. :)
