“Be thankful and look to every new day with positive hope.

Take time to pull yourself away from all the noise and just look around you. Take inventory. Appreciate those who have enhanced the quality of your life, and remember that they have been a gift to you. Also remember that you’re a gift to them, too.

Be grateful for the choices you’ve made, both good and bad. Accept your mistakes; you can’t change them anyway. Apply what you’ve learned and go on. Use these lessons to help you with your other decisions in life. Appreciate yourself and your own uniqueness.

Go outside and look at the sky. Soak in the atmosphere. Enjoy the colors of the landscape. Feel the textures of every place you are that you’re thankful for. Smile at the world. Don’t allow any negative feelings to creep into your consciousness. Feel the power of your own acceptance. Put a positive spin on every thought you have.

Make every day special. On it. Enjoy it. Bask in the glory of life. Appreciate the gift of your own life. “ Donna Fargo

I certainly needed this today! One of my closest friends, had a massive stroke on Thanksgiving. She had been doing so well. Even her doctor was surprised. Take each day as a gift because God has given it to us.

“When life seems like a mountain that’s too hard to climb… you will find the strength to take just one more step.

When your journey seems just too hard to bear… you will find the courage to face one more day.

When you feel lost and you don’t know which way to turn… let your faith and trust lead the way. And when it’s hard to believe that things will ever get better… look inside your heart-and find hope.

Remember that every storm passes – and sunshine and brighter days always follow the rain.” Jason Blume

God is always present in our life even if we don’t feel God‘s presence.

“Always hold honor as a high virtue. Despite how the world may be, rise above.

Always speak the truth, because others will hold you in high esteem as a person who can be trusted.

Never lose faith in your fellow human beings, despite times when they may let you down.

Believe in hard work. No one will hand you the future you want. The ladder to success is steep, but take one step at a time and you’ll get to the top.

Always believe in yourself. Your happiness depends on no one else but you. If there is something that you are unhappy about, you must change it.

Always hold love close to you. When you make a commitment, cherish it for the rest of your life.” Sherrie L. Householder

God wants us to be positive and reach for the stars.

“Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets, move into the future with a new perspective, and appreciate the opportunity to take a second chance.

Acceptance means that when difficult times come into your life, you’ll find security again and comfort to relieve any pain. You’ll find new dreams, fresh hopes, and forgiveness of the heart.

Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect. It simply means that you’ll always overcome imperfection.

Acceptance is the road to peace-letting go of the worst, holding onto the best, and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.

Acceptance is the heart’s best defense, loves greatest asset, and the easiest way to keep believing in yourself and in others.” Regina Hill

God wants us to accept ourselves for who we are.

“Worry will distract you from the treasures ahead. Instead, keep love and happiness in your heart. Lift your spirits and stay alert to the gifts around you. Don’t waste your time wondering what others may think. You are the only one who has walked in your shoes. You are the most qualified to decide what path you will take. Fill your journey with love and harmony, joy and bliss. Look at the world through the eyes of a child, and carry your memories in a heart filled with love and peace.” Christina Curtis

Remember that God is always walking with us on our journey.
