My necklaces are really cute

Late last week I had day that wasn’t going the way I wanted it to.  It wasn’t really a bad day, looking back it was a good day, but there was a certain point of the day that I didn’t like.  I could tell that this was the type of thing that I could let ruin the rest of my day, or I could move on and not worry about it.  I decided to move on and posted something on facebook asking people what they do when they are having a bad day.  I was expecting to get videos or jokes or some mindless activity that would be a cure to a bad day.   I was surprised but the first two comments I received: they both stated that I was the person that they went to when they needed to be cheered up. 

What me?  You come to me when you want to get cheered up?  I saw the posts and began to think about the power that I have that I am not even aware of.  I tend to be a goofy person who likes to laugh, I am not very philosophical, and tend to think that I have an issue with word vomit.  I never thought that they way that I act normally is a way that would cheer some people up.  These messages were not meant to make me feel like I am all and mighty, but they made me think about how lucky I am.

I spent this weekend thinking of all the things I am lucky to have in my life.  I have a very supportive family, even when I tend to do things that they would rather I not do.  I have amazing friends who love me and my family, and showed me so this weekend.  I have people around me who love each other, not in a romantic way, but I was able to see how much my brother loves me and my sister this weekend.  Who do you have in your life that makes you remember how special you really are?  Everyone is special in their own way and we all show how we are special differently.  I didn’t realize it, but I show that I am special by just being who I am and not being afraid to flaunt it.

I know that you are special, and I know that you have things that make you lucky.  Have you ever actually thought about what they are?  Today’s challenges – tell someone why you think they are special, or if you are really daring – ask people why they think you are special.  Sometimes you just need be reminded about how amazing you are, and at times it can be hard to ask, but I guarantee you there is someone in your life that would be happy to share the reasons why they love you.

You have it all & Confidence,

Lyndsay
