2017 has been a great adventure and I’m glad because I’ve turned into a better person than I was a year ago. It was not perfect, there were still some difficulties but I can say that God has been good and it’s been a great year.
This brings me to the point of this article: It’s great to reflect and be thankful for what we have and who we are. On this past holiday season we clearly felt the stress in our finances and we tend to focus in what we lack of, that we would like to have more money for food and presents. Also, if we are away from our family and loved ones we start to feel down and depressed because we would love to be with them. This makes us loose our connection with the people we are currently with and we have a bad season all together.
It is very important to stop for a minute and analyze what God has done in our lives, the people He’s surrounded us with, our good health, the comfort of having a warm and dry bed every night and the great amounts of cookies we ate in every Christmas get together over the holidays. Thankfulness brings humility and that automatically makes us better individuals.
As we start 2018 I invite you to practice thankfulness, trust me, you have way more and you accomplished greater amounts than you think you’ve done in the past year.
Wish you the best and Happy New year!
