Showing Gratitude

Cupcakes from the wonderful Crimson & Whipped Cream

It's never a bad day to show gratitude.

For the past week, I've been chasing shadows, seeking approval, ripping myself to pieces with the what-ifs and should-haves.

But it's time to let go.

Oh, it's time. And does it feel good.

So maybe not everything is perfect, and I'm still haunted by pangs of sadness when I think about relationships hanging by a thread, but I choose to move on. Surge forward. Take a new turn.

For me, that starts with showing kindness where it is due. Thanking the people who help me get through each day with smiles, acceptance, and a whole lot of patience. Because why not? They deserve a surprise treat.

//Don't spend so much time pleasing the people that don't matter, that you forget to appreciate the people who DO matter//
