The above statement used in cases of uncertainty has some certainty to it. And actually, things happens for a plethora of reasons. Fortunately today, I understand that those reasons were to help me, become me.
As I stared into the reflection of the woman in the mirror, it brought me great joy to finally greet her . I couldn't see what was behind me, I could only see what lay ahead. It was a Chronicles of Narnia-like experience. There, right in front of my face, I could see the adventure awaiting ahead. Now, t'was up to the woman in the mirror to decide to turn around and give the past a chance to determine her future decisions or if she wanted to jump in to this unknown and unfamiliar scene, and go for it... She/I, chose the latter ...

Everything I've been through has absolutely made me stronger. The friendships I've made, the people I've met this past year alone, have all had such an amazing impact on my life. And to think that if I would've remained in my usual status quo, or didn't leg go of certain relationships and negative people surrounding me, I would've never met any of these phenomenal people.
Last Thanksgiving I could not have foreseen all the new blessings in my life today. Each day a new goal is met or uncovered. My Thankful Thursdays movement, to remind people to count their blessings at least once a week on Thursdays not just on Thanksgiving, has reached over 700 people worldwide, when my intention was to simply reach at least 1 person per week. My personal and love life are slowly coming out the chaos it had become. And things continue to look up.
Therefore be encouraged my friends, because when you feel like you're the only one under a cloud and it's raining lemons .. look up, say thanks for the lemons and then ask life to throw you some sugar or honey.. and it will!
My gratitude for this Thankful Thursday is you, my friends, both old and new. Thank you for being the reason I am so happy today.
Cheers to you my friends!!!!!!!!
