Have you ever wondered why things just don’t go the way you think they should go? I often think about this. I have to admit, there are times where I beat myself up and start with negative thinking. We’re human and, at times, we’re our own worst enemy.

Take time to think about the positive side of things. There are things to find, you just have to reflect and they will come into view. Think about them and take a moment to be grateful.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We celebrate this day to be thankful. I had a friend ask, why do we celebrate being thankful this day, when we should be thankful for everyday.

In more posts coming, I’m going to talk about my journey with living with an illness that goes undiagnosed for years. I’m talking about my neurological struggles, which are cause for feeling depressed and negative. Now, I’m a fairly upbeat and positive fellow. But I have my moments, believe me. There are good days and not so good days. I am choosing to focus on the good and be grateful for those days that are.

I will reach out here on those not so good days. I’ll ask to be lifted up though those rough times as I will do the same for anyone else struggling. Together, with a grateful heart, we can succeed in all things.

For now, I am grateful for this day. I’m breathing. I’m writing. I’m contributing.

Stay tuned…
