Being Grateful

Every single day you wake up and breathe is a gift.  Cherish it.  Tell yourself you are special. You are perfect. God does not make mistakes.  Give your partner a hug. Tell your kids you love them.  Smile at a stranger.  Have breakfast in bed.  Sleep all day.  Stay up late watching cheesy movies.  Eat your favorite dessert for dinner.  Love yourself.  Take a deep breath.  Go to bed being thankful for all the wonderful people, experiences, things, and love in your life.

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” 
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.” 
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
