Happy Thankful Tuesday!
Hello Friends,
From this week forward, Believe Achieve Tuesdays, will be dedicated to giving Thanks to all the wonderful blessings in our lives. Being Thankful is an important key element to living life to the very fullest. Thankfulness is what brings sunshine to a rainy day, turns a frown into a smile and transforms tears into laughter. Being Thankful is how we should all begin and end our days. It's the littlest acts, such as this, which will make a profound difference in how we view our lives. It's a reminder of how very blessed we truly are, even in the most difficult and trying times.
Celebrate every Tuesday with us by saying "I AM THANKFUL!"
We challenge you to think about the things that may be causing you unwanted negativity or stress in your life and find a positive outlook for it. Whatever it is, there is ALWAYS a sunny side to every situation and an opportunity for success within every obstacle. Just by adding a little more Thankfulness into your life, you'll see exactly what you've been blessed with. In all things ordinary will emerge the most precious hidden blessings.
So, what are you most Thankful for today?
Thankful Tuesday was inspired by a recent email we received from one our friends. It's one those emails we all get, sometimes too often, that tell you to send it to 10 more friends. Laugh! You all know which ones we're talking about! And we know there are those who get a bit irritated over them. But today, on Thankful Tuesday, let's be thankful for them. Getting them means we have friends who are thinking about us! And what a blessing that is....to have Friends! :-)
Below is the email we received. If you're a wife/husband/significant other, a parent, a taxpayer, a home owner and have ears and legs, or all the above, you will relate! LOL This email was humorous and enlightening. You will stop complaining over the little things the second you finish this email. Enjoy, Friends!
Many Blessings....

ReplyDeleteFor the truck not starting, but being close to home so that Daniel was not stranded somewhere without a way home. And the money to get another battery for the truck and now have a way to get to where we need to be in the morning. That is a good day with many blessings.
