Thankful Reflections Nov. 2013

It is a time to reflect upon my thanksgivings that I have within my life and to focus on the positive aspects of my life. Life does not always give you peaches and cream sometimes it gives you lemons but you must make the best lemonade possible. When people walk, run, and live through struggles they become stronger, better, and more emphatic people overall. When I take time to reflect upon my blessings it gives me less time to worry about the negatives. As I sit here typing and reflecting I will concentrate on the things, people, and places which allow me to be thankful. Do I still struggle at times? There are times I struggle beyond compare but I still find the strength to continue on and try to live a healthier life.
