Reminisce

The dark, dreary, cold days are usually the loneliest. They're just those days you don't want to speak to anyone or see anyone. All you want is to lay in your bed and be quiet. After the silence, listen to some sad music as you watch the minutes turn to hours. It's on these gloomy days we must learn to be thankful.

Being gloomy is easy, anything in the negative is easy to come by, it takes no effort. Positivity on the other hand requires effort and attitude. Gloomy days can be turned to days of gratitude if you decide. Feelings are deceptive, they change so quickly with that being said, we need to learn to adjust them accordingly. When you wake up feeling gloomy, start to change your mood by thinking about all the wonderful things that have happened in your life.

I spent my day with a friend yesterday, we basically reminisced on the wonderful moments we've had in our lives. I for one have met wonderful people that have each played an important role in my life and am truly grateful for them. Now, these people may have ended up hurting me in the end but I choose to focus on the positive ways they impacted my life. The people in your life that have come by and left have impacted you in some way. You have made wonderful memories, shared unforgettable moments, moments that you only dreamt of and yet, that person made it a reality. Yes, now, you may not be in the best of places together, and that's fine because some people come in our lives for a season and that's okay.

Instead of being gloomy all day, cheer up and be grateful for the people that came and left in your life, the people that are still in your life, the blessings you currently have and the ones you're yet to have, most importantly, thank God for our life. Develop an attitude of gratitude and transform your life.
