Happy early Thanksgiving everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on my life and all the blessings I have been given. I am always grateful for my wonderful friends and my loving family. This Thanksgiving I am especially grateful for the gift of life. With my grandmother passing on in the spring and my friend’s sister passing on last month, I realize that I am appreciative of the life I have been granted.

In the words of my dear friend, I am only a visitor on this earth. I am not sure how much time I have in this world so I have to make the most of it. I am no longer going to take life for granted. I am going to take advantage of every opportunity I have in this life and create moments that will only make my life better. There is no need to hang on to something or someone that I know is poisoning my life. I am going to use this holiday season as a time to put the final touches on my present life and allow myself to start on a fresh canvas in the new year.

Maybe you might want to give it a try too;) You never know what the outcome may be.
