Thankful Thursdays quotes and notes!

Hello everyone, I hope you're week has been going good so far! Here are some great quotes to show thanks and gratitude. I am so glad winter is over, although it is hard to believe because it keeps snowing. It's been cold the passed few days and I'm waiting patiently for that awesome spring smell! 

Bring on spring with a positive grateful attitude :-)

I like to remind myself of this as much as I can!

I am always reminding myself of this, because it is the most important thing to remember!

Thanks for coming to view my blog! I hope you have a great weekend and as always believe in yourself and show gratitude, you never know how much a simple "Thanks or Thank you" means to someone else!!

Thankful Thursday...

I'm so grateful it is Thursday, because tomorrow is the end of the week.

Thursday is always a good day, and I love the next day, because it is Friday.

Sometimes I don't post anything at all, I don't post every single day, I don't feel like posting here everyday, but sometimes I'll send out some motivational quotes or a graphic for a day celebrated(St. Patrick's Day, Valentine, Easter, etc.) that was chalked in our calenders in the past. But Sometimes I don't feel like posting anything, because I don't feel up to it! Yesterday was one of those days.

I am thankful for those day's, because if I had of come and posted something, it probably wouldn't have been very motivational, inspiring or anything positive. I feel I am doing others a favor by not posting when I don't feel like posting, I wouldn't want to read a long winded blog post about how bad their day was or how they hated everyone and everything, so why would I post that? I wouldn't want to unknowingly post a blog that might make someone else feel insulted in anyway.

I have changed a lot over the years, I use to be pretty negative. I use to complain about everything and everything someone else might have done to me in the past. 

There was a time I had joined an online group and I learned about Daily affirmations, Those daily affirmations, made me see things differently over time, I started worrying less about "what was", and started focusing more about "what is" and molding today's day into what I had hope tomorrow will be. 

I started to feel more appreciative about what I had and seeing what happened bad last year was only last year, it wasn't now, it was than and than cannot be changed, only now can change to make tomorrow hopefully better! I don't know if I just repeated myself just now, but that is okay. If you repeat something positive a few times, it isn't going to hurt anyone!

So stop worry about "what was"

Start Focusing on "what is" 

And you will see a more positive out look about "what will be"

Have a great day everyone, I hope this has made you think and I hope it has helped you feel positive about yourself and or your future!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Thankful Thursday! Excited, for the weekend!

Thank goodness it is Thursday, it has been a hectic week! I have made a lot of progress with my blogging lately, and I am loving all the new things I can do! I am still looking to get more traffic and views and I am joining other social media sites in order to share my blogs! Some are automated to post a blog or be shared elsewhere. I'm still a bit confused because, I usually just stick to a few and than walk away and process with my day/life offline.

These days however, I have been looking everywhere, and checking out all those popular sites...No I still don't have an instagram lol.. But I don't have a cell phone that has internet either. Maybe if I was actually bringing in a profit here and there I'd get one, I just have a $10,000 student loan to pay off, so those cool cell phone internet and apps are going to have to wait!

Right now, I would rather find a job, or earn a commission pay online and get my student loan payed off and be able to go get my drivers permit/license.

Anyways this is Thankful Thursday, not venting Thursday :-)

And what I am thankful for right now is...

I have had a lot of spare time to blog and set up other social media sharing sites to share my blog on!
It has been March break for the kids where I am from!
It's so close to spring I can smell it!
I have been learning so much that I love it and am feel quite content with all the knowledge!
I have helped a few people learn new things and I also end up learning more as well!

Funny how showing others how to do something you end up learning more new things for yourself :-)

I will now add some thankful quotes! These are ones I posted before, but they are important!






Have a great weekend, I may post something for Friday as well!

Thankful Thursday!!! I'm so grateful...

I am so grateful for all that I have, because so many don't have as much!

I am thankful for:

The clothes on my back

The shoes on my feet,

The dishes in my cupboard

And even the food that we eat!

That there is a roof over my head,

A bathroom where I can get clean,

A bedroom with a bed,

A dresser and a closet,

For all that they keep.

So grateful for my loved ones,

Family and my friends,

And to all the random people I have met,

Because some are so caring, it brings hope in this sometimes overly cruel world!

Thanks

And for all my readers, and followers I would like to say a big big!!

Thankful Thursday!

Thanks to those who take the time to read this long winded blog post. This isn't about anyone in particular! 

Life and Time!

What are you doing with them? Are you happy? Are you ever happy?

Some people invest their lives trying to be happy, but forget to think about what they are doing that is causing their unhappiness and are blaming and or taking it out on others! I see happy people everyday, some of them don't have their dream job, some just make the most of it and not worry about what they do as being a cause for their unhappiness.

If you're truly unhappy, I believe a long time of self reflection is necessary, in order to find the cause. Others CAN NOT do that for you!!! I'm not saying this to be a smart -a$$ I'm speaking from experience, and with that being said, I don't try to manipulate others to make them feel bad for their choices! I try my best to keep others positive, to keep motivated to find what makes them happy rather than dwelling on it! No matter how I feel myself.

Things I did to make myself feel better and it didn't happen overnight:

• I looked for things I liked to do

1. found books that peeked my interests
2. taught myself how to do new things (the things I was interested in like drawing, painting, become better with my words, etc)
3. research other hobbies I might like to try (wired jewelry, scrap-booking)

• Go back to school; finish that, so I could go to another school of my choice, so I could enter "that" career field! (Hairstyling)
• Look for daily motivations (I actually started with this) 

1. The daily motivations changed my life for the better
2. Daily affirmations can change your thought process if you keep them there daily, and stick with it!

• Stop trying to make others feel guilty/bad for how you're feeling! That isn't a way to make yourself feel better in the long run. Everyone has their own problems, you want to tell someone? Get counseling, It helps too!
• Go for a long jog/walk, for meditative self reflecting thoughts in nature!!

1. it's good for your health(mental, physical, and emotional)
2. it brings peace of mind

• Stretch out your spare time wisely!

1. don't waste it dwelling on how you feel all day dragging it on and on, repeating something you don't like or telling yourself over and over again how depressed and unhappy you are, it ISN'T going to make it go away, it will only prolong it and make you feel worse (again speaking from experience!!!)
2. Look for enjoyable things to do! (Find activities for you and your spouse and or children to do outside of the home) Don't have time? I don't believe you! That's you making excuses for yourself. How do I know? I have done it plenty of times myself. Find the time...Period. Quit your whining about it! Worse things have happened in this world!!

So I am going through some things right now, but instead of trying to make others feel bad for me, I am just living life and going with it! I don't like to allow myself to dwell anymore, because I already know how that will pan out! I've already been there and done that.

So what am I thankful for? For years of affirmations, years of self reflection(when I needed it most), years of trying to help others and for those grateful ones who appreciated it!

I'm thankful I have a roof over my head, food in my refrigerator and cupboards, for being born with sight and hearing, and having hands and feet and being able to walk (because I know others aren't as lucky to be blessed with such things).

I'm grateful for my parents, who taught me how to be grateful for everything I have, because I could have less(and I know what that's like)! I'm grateful to be able to help others and tell them how they could help themselves become happier(but I wont stick around and tolerate/take their anger, when I'm trying to help them), or help them find/with the resources to help themselves!

So PLEASE, before you criticize others, when they've only been nice and helpful to you, STOP yourself and self reflect and ask yourself WHY you're doing that! And for those offered help, please just say you don't want help in a nice manner, and stop being such an a-hole! That's not the way to make/keep friends. Overly uptight people are no fun to be around and make others feel bad (whether they know it or not), please just relax and let things be!

Thanks to those who took the time to read this long winded blog post in full today, and I really hope it's helped you in some positive way! There is always something to be thankful for.

As always, stay positive, believe in yourself and your ability to progress positively in the happier direction!
