Those really horrible times caused by hateful people in your life, be thankful for it all because the people and the pain you went through taught you the best lessons: Forgiveness, and that you are worth and deserve so much more.
The beautiful days and kind people all around you, be grateful for it all because without those days, and special people, life would be dull without the sparkle.
When tragedy and sadness invade, hold on tight with the knowledge that you will get through it all. Don’t let the joy of living rush out the door. You will learn that you are stronger than you ever imagined, and you will know for sure what is really important in your life.
Every day is filled with learning lessons about yourself and life. Some of it is hard and hurts to the core. Embrace it all and say, Thank You, for the rich journey you are traveling on.

Back at you, sister. ❤️
Beautiful thoughts to start my day. Thank you so much for the reminder. To be honest, in my whole life I have met just a handful of really hateful people. Two or three, may be. The other unpleasant people didn’t qualify 😉 Life is better than we sometimes think 🙂
That’s so true Inese. Life and the people in it are sometimes better than we actually think they are.

If you see no reason to give thanks,
The fault lies in yourself.”

That is very beautiful Pazlo. Thank you so much.
I agree!
So nice to see you Kendall. Thank you 🙂
Thanks Michele! Welcome!
It all teaches lessons. Sometimes we can only be grateful when we’re way passed it. I hope that one day I can be grateful for all life has brought. If you are, I’m grateful for you. I know I’m not. But, it’s something to aim for.
Love and light.
Life sure is one lesson after another isn’t it? And being grateful is something wonderful to aim for. Sending you hugs and beautiful days with much love and joy, Eliza.
