Thankful 8......



I have went to change this chalkboard saying 5 or 6 times now......

but every time I do, I can't seem to erase it!

I wrote it a few months ago........WHAT?

I never leave things the same more then a week....lol

So it happened again this morning......

what thought should I put up?....something new, something fresh!!

And-----I couldn't do it!

.

.

So......I thought about this saying...

"Love life and Life will love you back"

.

.

I few months ago I hated this saying But still put it up cuz I was TRYING!

Trying to love the things around me like I once did...

I was told by a wise bird {hi dad} that if we play the part, then we become the part.

So this was my attempt.

.

.

.

I can say......it sure is easier now then it was!

I see light

and feel light.

..

.

Ok---enough blibber blab.

TODAY'S THANKFUL IS.........

The people that surround ME!

I think we create those who tend to surround us...

BY, what we put OUT!

If I love life...life will love me back

If I am kind, I will then find kind people.

If i am positive and uplift, then I will in return find positive and uplifting people.

We fill others buckets to the rim? We will get ours filled as well!

SEE!.....we create our own TEAM around us.

.

.

I got on my email this morning and read many posts that people have posted on my blog and some private just for ME emails...:)

There was ONE that struck me today.

I had to read it twice as the tears streamed down my face.

It was filled with kindness and acknowledgment, encouragement, and sweet tender feelings!

.

.

My trials have indeed helped others.

some days I feel weak and as I can't go on another day.

BUT SEE ME? I am still standing....and obviously still going on another day.

Not sure how to be honest.....

but I'm sure it has to do with the people we have created around us. :)

some I do not even know and don't even really know me.....but how lucky and thankful I am for them! I mean...TRULY thankful!

Some people are put in our lives for a long time or a short time....or an extra ittybitty short time...:)

Doesn't matter ONE bit to me.....I think its lovely!

.

.


The end!

phew----now I can go shower.......

Happy Thankful Days!

What are you thankful for?

I love that saying {can I steal it?} I need some more positive things to write on our positive post-its that the PTSO puts up on random lockers at the Middle School each month, those kids need all the positive things they can get at that age. I love doing it! Thanks for the message & have a great day :)

Annie, I've been searching for a gorgeous frame like that. Where? ( I said that with tears in my eyes.) i bet you paid like six bucks too.

Ever since I visited your home I've been searching for a frame to make into a chalk board. One day it will find me. :)
