The end of the year used to signify how many failures I experienced and left me going into the new year depressed and miserable. For many years of my life, I failed to see the blessings all around me; failed to be grateful or look for the pockets of gratitude in the midst of my pain. I saw pain and dysfunction, felt pain and dysfunction and little else.
But, today is a new day, 2010 was a new year and I find myself looking back at what I used to see as pain and dysfunction with a new outlook, excitement and gratitude. God has been good to me and I am loving life and so excited about what 2011 will hold in store for me, my family and friends - and for you!
Day 29
Reflect on who you have become this year. Do you like what you faced this past year? Are you pleased with the way you handled life's challenges? Are there changes you really want to make so next year will be a happier, more peaceful year? Write down 29 things that you are grateful for.
~ "Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them."~ Philippians 4:4 Message Bible,
~Grateful for the opportunity to look for the good in everyone and every situation. Do I always succeed? - No, but, my track record is moving more toward success than failure - Just blessed for the ability to enjoy life - Yay!~Denise
