Thankful Tuesday

Again trying to play catch up. Things come up and I don't post as I would like. Regardless I am thankful to be able to do it when I can. I have missed the past 5 listings from the January poster. These are:
  1. Be content
  2. Lighten up
  3. Celebrate and appreciate
  4. Dream
  5. Give thanks
Each day we can find a way to do these things. Being content doesn't necessarily mean to stay in a place where you don't desire. To me it's about honoring what you have. Appreciating what you've done. It doesn't mean to stop striving to be better. Sometimes we get so focused on what we don't have that we forget that which we do. Lightened up a bit, everything doesn't have to be so serious all the time. Learn to relax, laugh and enjoy life. Celebrate and appreciate those who have chosen to be in your life and choose to remain a part of your life. This past weekend we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We know his quotes. We know his speeches. We know is vision. He not only had a dream but a vision. That dream wasn't just acknowledged, it was something he worked to achieve. Let us remember to give thanks to those who have come before us and those who will come after us. The dream can only remain a reality with the work that we put into it.
