Looking at my life today, I can think of so many reasons to smile. In fact, if we accentuate the positive, we can all find so many reasons to smile and be thankful. Be thankful for your family, your health, the roof over your head and the lovely parents that you have. Be thankful for having the energy to do as much as you do in one day and being well enough to do this. Be thankful for the gifts you have, whether it is your personality, passion, ambition or all three. There are so many reasons to smile, but let me share with you some more reasons to turn a frown upside down and smile.
1. Be Thankful for Your Health
I just had surgery on my leg last week and let me tell you, I am so thankful to have my mobility. All went well with my surgery but I was so nervous before and after because of how important health is to me. Health is wealth and there is nothing in the world more important than this. Being healthy tops the reasons to smile!
2. Be Thankful for Your Parents
Being a mother of three, I finally get all that my parents sacrificed for me because I now live this sacrifice everyday. Parents do all for their children because they want to, and because they have unconditional love. I am thankful for my parents because they taught me so much about life and how to be an excellent mom. So thank your parents and smile!
