Every PIECE of the PUZZLE is NEEDED

     You are FORMED by many PUZZLE PIECES that it takes to MAKE Up the "BIG PICTURE" of WHO YOU BECOME.

    Step back and realize that it took Your GRIEF which was NECESSARY to SOFTEN you.

   It also took your HEARTACHES because they were NECESSARY to WISEN you.

   Through your SUFFERING you were STRENGTHENED.

   DESPITE everything....YOU STILL GREW to WHO YOU ARE and you should be PROUD OF YOURSELF.

    It wasn't ALWAYS EASY but through your HARD WORK you BECAME an AMAZING PERSON.

    When things get CHAOTIC and CRAZY in your LIFE remember that you can make LIFE HARMONIOUS.... DESPITE ALL THE NOISE. 

    When LIFE gives you NOTHING BUT LEMONS..... You just have to LEARN how to MAKE the BEST LEMONADE EVER!

    Just ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE WHILE YOU ARE LIVING IT because we ONLY HAVE THE TIME WE HAVE SO.... ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT.

    The ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE is full of UPS AND DOWNS as well as TWISTS AND TURNS......... ENJOY THE RIDE.

You can make someone's day by SIMPLY......

    What a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE you can MAKE by SIMPLY MAKING someone SMILE 

    Taking a MOMENT OF YOUR TIME to SIMPLY LISTEN to someone can help them FLUSH AWAY A BAD DAY.

   You can ENCOURAGE someone by SIMPLY saying some WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to them.

    ANY RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS can have a POSITIVE IMPACT... even if it is SIMPLY BEING KIND to them 

   During the CHRISTMAS SEASON my husband and I look for a STRANGER that we think could BENEFIT from a GIFT of a $50 dollar Bill.

    It doesn't take long to spot someone..... The hard part is trying to get them to take the money. 

   Most of the time they say no.... there are many OTHERS who need it more than they do. 

    We usually have to CONVINCE them that it is a GIFT FOR US for them to TAKE IT.

    WE really get a FEELING during the weeks leading up to CHRISTMAS... out of the blue when we SEE THEM.... even if we are wrong it FEELS GOOD and it's just one of OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS.

   Another CHRISTMAS TRADITION is to drop off CHRISTMAS TOYS at our local DONATION DRIVE CENTERS for the CHILDREN in our town.

   Every RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS no matter how big or how small nor what time of the Year.... will SPREAD KINDNESS.

   Be KIND to everyone you meet because you have no idea what they may be facing.

    Remember that a SMILE says PEACE in any language.

It's cold outside...... so BUNDLE UP if you want to be WARM

     If you KNOW what is COMING then PREPARE for WHATEVER is COMING.

     If you WANT to get UP a SET OF STAIRS then you KNOW that you will have to TAKE the necessary STEPS UP if you WANT to GET to the TOP OF THE STAIRS.

     If you SEE that there is a BOULDER in your pathway then WALK AROUND IT so you can GET AROUND IT.

    If you FEEL an UNEASY FEELING in the PIT OF YOUR STOMACH remember that it is NOT ALWAYS GAS.....Sometimes it's your BUILT-IN WARNING SYSTEM trying to WARN YOU that you are ABOUT to make a MISTAKE.

    If it is WINTER WEATHER outside then you should WEAR YOUR WINTER COAT so you can STAY WARM or STAY INSIDE where it is WARM.

    If you SEE TROUBLE COMING....GET OUT OF THE WAY.

    If you KNOW that you SHOULDN'T DO IT then DON'T DO IT.

    If you want to FEEL COMFORTABLE in the SKIN you are in then make sure that you are COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING in the SKIN you are in.

    As long as you DO what you NEED TO DO then you will be PROUD OF YOURSELF for DOING WHAT YOU THOUGHT you SHOULD DO regardless of HOW THINGS TURN OUT.

Nothing brings OUT the COMPETITOR in us All like a COMPETITION

     As everyone gets OLDER there just ISN'T the NEED to get GIFTS for others anymore because they BUY THEMSELVES whatever they want THROUGHOUT the YEAR.

     This YEAR as we GATHER to CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS together we have decided that a GOOD OLD FASHION DAY OF COMPETITION will be a GIFT OF LAUGHTER for EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.

     Now INSTEAD of BUYING GIFTS they DON'T NEED they can have a GOOD BELLY LAUGH that will be GOOD for their HEALTH......which they DO NEED.

   A GOOD BELLY LAUGH is good for your MIND, BODY and Your SOUL.

    When was the last time you had a GOOD BELLY LAUGH over something SILLY?

    They say LAUGHTER is the BEST MEDICINE and UNLIKE PHARMACY MEDICINE there is NO NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS.

    Even though you are not able to FIX ALL THEIR PROBLEMS or BUY THEM EVERYTHING they could  ever want......you can SHARE A CHRISTMAS SMILE 😁 

    The REASON FOR THE SEASON is to MAKE THE TIME TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER. 🎄

CHOOSING YOUR THOUGHTS is CHOOSING the REALITY YOU WILL LIVE IN

      If you DESCRIBE yourself as LAZY you will make being LAZY your PERSONALITY.

     If you CONSTANTLY THINK about what has HURT YOU then you will CONSTANTLY FEEL HURT.

     If you SEE YOURSELF as a VICTIM then you will REACT in EVERY SITUATION AS IF YOU WERE A VICTIM.

     If you ONLY LOOK for the NEGATIVE in EVERY SITUATION then you will HAVE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE about EVERY SITUATION.

    If you look for the POSITIVE in EVERY SITUATION then you will have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE about EVERY SITUATION.

    LIFE IS ABOUT HOW YOU SEE IT.

    LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE out of the CARDS YOU ARE DEALT on your LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    Some of my most TREASURED MEMORIES are from some of the most NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES in my Life.

    A LOT of My PERSONAL GROWTH happened because of the CHALLENGES I have had to FACE on my LIFE'S JOURNEY.

    One Day you will LOOK BACK and REALIZE that you wouldn't be WHO YOU ARE TODAY if you had not had the EXPERIENCES that CHALLENGED YOU that SHAPED YOU.

      YOUR LIFE'S JOURNEY is YOUR JOURNEY and you LEARN AS YOU GO THROUGH the UPS AND DOWNS on the ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE.

      NOTHING IS PERFECT so .....STOP EXPECTING THINGS TO BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME because that's NOT POSSIBLE.

      If you SET UNREALISTIC GOALS you are SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE.

      BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF and you will HONESTLY BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF.

Pay ATTENTION to YOUR OWN BUSINESS

     What SOMEONE ELSE THINKS is WHAT THEY THINK ..... REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK.

     What SOMEONE ELSE FEELS is WHAT THEY FEEL.... REGARDLESS of HOW YOU FEEL about it.

    What makes SOMEONE ELSE HAPPY is what MAKES THEM HAPPY..... REGARDLESS if it DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY OR NOT.

   Because LIFE is NOT ALL ABOUT YOU all the TIME.... YOU DO YOU..... and LET THEM DO THEM.

    Which is WHY.....IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.....then WHO CARES WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS....

   ALWAYS REMEMBER that as long as it MAKES YOU HAPPY and IT DOESN'T HURT ANYONE ELSE....THEN...JUST DO IT.

   😃....DON'T WORRY....BE HAPPY.

The ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS is....... ENDLESS

     Have you ever been UNABLE TO SLEEP because you couldn't STOP THINKING about STUPID IRRELEVANT THINGS?

    Have you ever been UNABLE TO MAKE A DECISION because you couldn't THINK CLEARLY because you couldn't STOP THINKING about STUPID IRRELEVANT THINGS?

   Have you ever been UNABLE TO GET MOTIVATED because you couldn't STOP THINKING about..........ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that you NEEDED TO DO...... to the point where you became PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED by OVERTHINKING ABOUT IT?

    Our minds have an ENDLESS STREAM OF THOUGHTS trying to GRAB OUR ATTENTION.

    ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME you have to take those STUPID IRRELEVANT THOUGHTS and JUST FLUSH IT out of your mind!

    Tomorrow is ALL ABOUT THINKING about what you are THANKFUL FOR and being THANKFUL that you are ALIVE to ENJOY THANKSGIVING with EVERYONE.

     Happy THANKSGIVING 🦃
