   Most mornings on my way to work, I find myself thinking about all the things I wanna change…. All the things I complain about… all the things that happened the day before .. really just a compilation of things I either can’t change or have no business trying to control.  That thought process leaves me so mentally drained….

   
   

   But you know what I thought about today? I thought about all my wins despite my losses. I thought about how my life… my seasons… could be/could’ve been so much worse! I thought about the things I prayed for vs the things I received.  God knew what I needed and that is what He gave me! 

   
   

   Today I’m saying… Be grateful. Be grateful for all your blessings as well as your obstacles. Be grateful that God didn’t say yes to your nos.  

   
   

   Make a habit of each time you think something negative that you follow up with TWO things positive.  (These people on this job get on my last nerve…. But I have a job and it pays my bills) …. Whew! Baby! Life is exactly what we make it. Whatever you think, that’s what it is.  I’m not pointing fingers… I’m speaking to me too! I have work on me just like everyone else.  Still… it’s gotta be said.  It all starts with a conversation.
