A seasonal love letter written just for you!
November marks the start of the month of thankfulness and gratitude. Although people are quick to transition from Halloween straight to Christmas, it’s important to remind yourself of the many good things. You’ve almost made it past 2017. You’ve accomplished so much. You’ve grown so, so much. Why limit yourself to be thankful for just one day or just one month? Fill yourself up with gratitude for all seasons of your life!
Gratitude strengthens our bonds with others, boosts our emotions, and our improves our personalities. Think about it, you’d much rather prefer to be surrounded by people who could make an effort to see the light in situations rather than not. You’d be more prone to look on the bright side too! Thankfulness is contagious. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I will just go into spontaneous sessions where we just thank each other for being there and uplifting one another.
How can I constantly be thankful? That sounds unrealistic…
Well of course, I am not asking you to pretend like you should be thankful for everything because honestly everything is not going to make you say “I am SO thankful for this”. It’s an inevitable fact: we will all have rough seasons in life that make us feel discomfort and even pain. However, if you are able to get through those rough seasons and grow from them, you should be thankful to yourself. Tell your body, your mind, and your heart thank you for being so strong.
Be grateful for your loved ones for always being there and be thankful for your not-so-loved ones for reminding you who not to surround yourself with.
Be grateful for good thoughts for warming your heart and be thankful for bad thoughts for making the good thoughts that more enjoyable.
Thank you for letting my words be like a love letter to you,
