This week I am thankful for joy. Around this time last year was the beginning of a rough winter. I went through a bit of minor depression and had a hard time being motivated and happy for a few months. Knowing this happened last year as well as being aware of my personality and struggles with matters that come around during the winter and holidays, since about February it has been on my mind to be purposeful in not repeating my dark winter of last year.
Though we are at just the beginnings of the holidays and what is yet to come I can tell that I am different. I am more balanced, happier, and thankful. Part of starting Thankfulness Thursdays was wanting to choose to train my mind differently for a more joyful heart this Thanksgiving and holiday season.
The older I get the more I realize that it is hard to be an adult. But I am also learning that I can decided on the life that I want. For me so much of figuring this all out and living it all out starts with my mindset and this week I am ever so thankful that it is in a positive place this year.
