Waking Up Thankful

Sleep lately seems to elude me. For me spring is a time of rebirth, refresh and renew. It seems so much easier to get excited about the day when the sun is shining or for me it isn't at 4am but there is the hope that seems to get me thru.

Thankful is a great feeling to wake too. The simple things as your kids coming home to you and thanking you just because. Saying I love you first and meaning it. What did I do to deserve this? Mom of the year oh I lost that months ago. Why all the goodness in my life? Is it in the attitude I portray? Is it the positive that I am trying to strive for ever day? The high energy that has seemed to have made a permanent house in me? Do people see it and are they drawn to it? Crave it? I hope so.

Looking back was all my doom and gloom about me? Did I bring it on? Did I foster it and nourish it? I think so. Ah don't get me wrong I would have blamed anyone else for it and I did. But now shoe being on the other foot~do I want to give some one else credit for the greats in my life? The positives and kudos all around me. One comes mind~God. Couldn't have done it with out him. Would have tried but failed miserably. I am finding that it goes so much better when we allow God to be there. Oh go ahead and try it. Once again choices we all have them.

So I am challenging you today to be thankful for what you have. Tell those how you feel, and mean it. Smile because you don't know who may be falling in love with it. We only go around once. Make a mark in someones life.

Happy Easter everyone! Hugs and Kisses goes out.
