A Great Message for the Year's End

Hey World!  I want to share with you something that I'm really loving lately. 

I've hinted at this recently but in case you didn't know, this has been the worst year of my life...HANDS DOWN.  Yeah, I know!  We didn't think anything could top the first part of 2013.  But no, 2015 takes the cake.  Many people are sad or stunned to see that we are officially in December now, and not June or April.  Not me. I am thrilled.  Quite possibly, overjoyed that the year is coming to an end.  SEE YA. 

Recently, I decided to take control of my life again, or at least grab the reins on the things I do have control of. Mainly, my day-to-day happiness. In a time where so much s&*t has happened and keeps happening, it can be hard to find the motivation to enjoy life...to appreciate what you have in spite of all you've lost...to continue living with with a positive attitude...to keep having hope for a bright future.  

I find that the best way to encourage myself is to start the day off with something positive.  Some people pray, read, exercise or meditate.  For the past couple of weeks now, I've been starting my mornings listening to this:  




It's a great song to scream/sing along to in the shower, and it has a great message. It's such a great reminder for anyone, that if you're still standing...if you're able to get out of bed the next day and join everyone in the world...if you're still trying, then that's worth something.  

Whatever you're going through, you will beat this.  You are beating it.  You're still breathing.  You're still alive. You're fighting the good fight, and you're winning.

  2. Much like you, I am so glad that 2015 is coming to an end. It has been a truly difficult year.

    It is amazing that you are so upbeat and willing to work on your happiness even when things are constantly difficult and bring you down. You bring me so much hope for my future. From one kidney patient to another, I wish you all the best for the up and coming year and I hope that things do a 360 and begin to look a lot brighter for you. Thank you for allowing me a glimpse into your life, it makes me feel less alone on this journey.

    Kind Regards,

    Emma
