Carpe diem

Yesterday I was reminiscing and feeling happily nostalgic with fun and favorite childhood memories, so thank you for letting me just write away and sharing your own favorite childhood memories! I enjoyed reading them. Someone left the comment "Carpe Diem," and I thought....absolutely! What a positive and optimistic outlook we should all have! It was so uplifting and inspiring! That's what I love about SparkPeople and the framework built around having a healthy mindset: physically, psychologically, and socially. During this most unpredictable time of our lives, what a great motto: "Seize the Day!" We can't be sure of what the future holds, but can make the most of our current situation each day. When a negative situation happens, we can choose to focus our thoughts and energies on priorities like living a healthy lifestyle, investing in positive relationships, finding the humor, and doing the little things that make a difference. The little things add up and we all have something of value to contribute. I believe every single person on this earth has a gift. If you are unsure what your gift is, take a minute to think about the things you enjoy doing. Those are your gifts!! Carpe diem until tomorrow, my friends.
