A new start

Here I am, sitting in front of a blank page, begininng a new blog. A blog where I only share the happy, positive things going on in my life. Yes, the posts may not be as frequent as my last blog but they will never give anyone a reason to worry, to question me or to talk behind my back. There's something so significant about a blank page & a new begininng. As my Dad always says "Everyday is a new begininng". In essence, everyday is a blank page. We can choose to write it as we wish. Today, I wish to focus on the good in my life. The people who love me, support me & stand by me. I have been blessed with quite a few of them & for that, I am grateful. I will keep my old blog but will keep it private. For me, writing is a release. A healthy way of letting it all go, for getting it all out & off my chest. But Im tired of letting everyone in on what's going on. It causes people stress & I don't want to dump or burdon people with that. We all have our own shit. So instead, this blog will be about the things & people I am grateful for. I will share stories of happiness, gratitude & love. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I think it's a perfect time. God knows I have LOTS to be thankful for. Im 7 days late but for each day until Thanksgiving, I am going to write one thing I am thankful for. I have a little catching up to do but that won't be hard. Day 1 - I am thankful for my daughter. She may drive me nuts at times but without her, I wouldnt be here today. She is my inspiration, my hope, my everything. Day 2 - I am thankful for my support system - They hold me up when I want to fall down. Day 3 - I am thankful for being aware. Like "they" say, once you know you cant not know. Day 4 - I am thankful for my family - they have always stood by me, NO MATTER WHAT Day 5 - I am thankful for my job - I cant believe I just said that...lol Day 6 - I am thankful for the love I recieved from Nala - she forever changed my life. Day 7 - I am thankful that I am not in that deep dark place. I will update my gratitude list daily. I think we should all have a gratitude list. It's so easy to get caught up in the negative, the worries & stress of everyday life. I am going to make a point of it to stop that & to take a look at what really matters.
