Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t let anyone take the JOY out or your life! It’s great to feel great. How do we do that? Be thankful! Get your smart phone and write in your notes the first 10 things that you want to be thankful for. Don’t think too much. Whatever comes in your mind. I like you to use your cell phone so you can constantly see what you wrote. If you are most people, you are constantly checking your phone. From the moment you wake up till the moment you close your eyes to sleep. We might as well use technology to our advantage to remind us the many blessings that we take for granted. It seems trivial to write them down but what I noticed is when I do it, I feel great doing it. It helps me not to be so sad about things that I cannot change. It helps me to ruminate on what’s most important in life – presence.
Here’s what I have! Do yours!
