There are hard days & difficult circumstances, and days
l am a bit salty.
(*ehem)
But even so,
they are always out numbered by all the things I am grateful for.
Journal notes and quotes:
Learn to appreciate the difficult days.
"We won't love well if we're in the habit of being
negative and cynical."
'We can have peace even if there's chaos all around us.
We can be hopeful even when life looks pretty bleak.
It takes practice.'
Practice habits of finding joy, hope, and peace.
Instead of dreading difficulties that may or may not occur,
view this day as a sacred adventure.
'Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified.'
Deut. 31:6
'You are a human being worthy of love & mercy.
Learn how to adopt a newer, more easy going
relationship with yourself.'
Fill your life with gratitude & you'll spill over with love.
No matter how gloomy life may seem...
how can you be more grateful?
be well...
xoxo

"Gratitude is not pretending everything is good.
It's noticing what still is,
even when life hurts."
"Gratitude builds the bridge between where you are
and everything you're meant to become."
"To be grateful is to recognize
the sacred in the simple."
"Being okay doesn't mean that life will be perfect,
nor does it presume that everything will turn out
better than before.
It simply means that you will eventually make it back
to a place of equilibrium,
because whatever you are currently experiencing or
feeling is temporary;
it will pass, as everything does.
Even if things turn out differently than you expected,
take some solace in knowing that you will always be okay,
even if you are different than before."
