Whew! The end of another week. And for some reason when we review the week, our brains seem to focus on the things that didn’t go right, or the things we did poorly (that naggy and sometimes unkind self-talk). Actually many things did go right and there is always much to be thankful for.

So each Friday I focus on something to be thankful for – to realize that there is good out there if I choose to see it, and there are great things always happening – if I choose to see them.

So my encouragement is at least once a week (better if you do it daily) that you identify something to be thankful for – to remind yourself that in spite of tough times, there are always great things to pull you through. The trick is learning to see them.

For me – I am thankful for getting out of my walking boot after 8 weeks following foot surgery. It is amazing how good a shoe feels, how much easier walking is now and I can get back to my exercise plan.

What are you thankful for? And if it involves a person, let them know.
