The last few years have had some insane highs as well as some devastating lows. Throughout it all, I have attempted to keep a level head and seek the positive in each situation. Yes, this was sometimes a very, very difficult goal, but I still tried. I will put it out there right now that I am still horribly bitter with my employment situation and how corrupt persons were rewarded with millions of dollars and all the persons at my level (the peons) were rewarded with large pay cuts and the stress of attempting to find postions and employers that were even minimally comparable to what we had. Please, when you are hating on your employment, PLEASE remember the grass is NOT greener on the other side and that the famous saying/song "don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" is VERY true.
But, let's get me back to today's subject . . . . 52 Weeks of Gratitude.
There are quite a few different "lists" on Pinterest regarding this. Here is one. Another list can be found here.
On top of those lists, there are also tons of 52 week photo challenges, Love me challenges and Thankfulness Challenges.
I am NOT going to stick with any of the challenges. Instead, I'm going to pull a few from each, ones that interest me. I've seen many posts that bloggers have stated they started the challenge and got fried. I know that, should something not interest me, I will quit it. So, I'm simply going to wing it and pick something each week that I feel I can write on.
And, I don't expect each week to be a Mary Sunshine "my life is so gosh darn perfect" type of response. Sometimes, it appears the subject that appears to be the most positive is actually the one that draws out the anger, bitterness, sadness, fear, or other such low emotions. it is my hope that, in drawing out these emotions, I can better see myself and determine the reasons for the emotions as well as how to embrace them, and come out a stronger person - - - where I can be grateful for the negatives as well as the positives.
I am giving myself the goal of posting a new entry every week on Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed I can do this!
