The Challenge Begins!

Today is the start of a new year, and the beginning of my resolution to find something everyday to be grateful for. I am determined to count my blessings as a reminder of how lucky I really am. I don't know if it is because of or in spite of this decision, but I definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I have had such a bad attitude today that it would be easy to wallow in my poor spirits and dwell on everything that is bothering me. Instead, I think it is an even better reason to plow through with my resolution and find the blessing in today. So, I'm starting simple and am thankful that I have today. Today is a day of living, breathing, and being with my family. It is a day of new beginnings, a day to decide how I am going to face this year. I'm grateful for the opportunity to make this year what I want it to be.
