Thanksgiving post!

Hey people!

I hope you’re having a great day. :)

I know that must make some cringe with disgust and confusion. If it were years ago that would be my response!

I could easily think of those years as wasted but they weren’t wasted. I DID learn from them!

My realising that does not make me a saint.

If that’s what some wish to think because it helps them, I consider that a huge honor.

If I’m a saint, you’re a saint too though!

I do believe that the people make the Church and the people hold the power to say who in their eyes is a saint and who is not.

In my eyes EVERY SINGLE SOUL is a saint.

I am not above anyone and I am not below anyone. I am where I am meant to be and you are where you are meant to be.

Deep, I know…feel like puking yet? Well, don’t puke! Keep reading!

I also learned from many who use the sad times in life to dwell on like I used to.

Please do not assume I am or am not talking about YOU personally and get offended.

It is most likely simply your mind playing tricks on you.

Get to know me personally and find out if I’m always so deep, etc.

How did I learn from others though?

I learned a few things from others. One is that complaining or dwelling on the sad times in life only makes life harder for me.

At certain times in my life, complaining or dwelling on the negative was exactly where I was meant to be and how I got through them.

I do not try and hide that or see any shame in it. It simply was where I was at that time in life.

That may be the case with you, so please know that anything I write is NOT meant to tell anyone what is best for their life.

I love writing how I feel, etc though and those who listen, listen and those who don’t, don’t.

That’s called the freedom of choice and it’s a beautiful thing.

I learned from those stuck in the sadness the past can bring, that they have a choice too and it’s not my fault if they choose sadness.

My choice is to say I absolutely adore everyone!

You’re beautiful just the way you are. You are exactly where you are meant to be and there is not one soul like yours on this earth.

This Thanksgiving, even if it makes you sick to your stomach, I am thankful for you.

Not the title you choose, etc. but YOU.

It does not matter to me if you believe in YOU or not because I BELIEVE IN YOU!

I have had so much sorrow in my life that it is dangerous for me to dwell in it but it’s dangerous for ANYONE to dwell in the bad times of their life.

People are realising that now. More are teaching their children self-love.

That will not take all the bad days away, nothing will but it will help them to know how to deal with those bad days better.

I can join many and hate the fact that was not known when I was a teen.

I don’t join many though because hating does nothing for me but put hate in my heart.

I will not give hate permission to enter my heart.

I am thankful that I am alive at a time when I can learn these things and pass them onto future generations so it may help them.

The things in the past that help me smile are the things in the past that I welcome. Anything else, I choose not to allow in my life. I have the right to choose happiness and to let go of sorrow.

You have that right too and let nobody tell you any different!

I am worthy of life, I am beautiful inside and out. I’m a heck of alot more than my outsides and you are more than yours.

It’s about dang time I stop just celebrating how talented everyone else is and start seeing my own worth.

Those in the spotlight didn’t get there by hating who they are and not having confidence.

It’s ok to realise that and I don’t think that it means I’m being selfish because I can use that inner strength to be able to give jobs to others. How is that thinking of only myself?

I’m NOT saying that I wouldn’t LOVE staying in a little wooden cabin, hidden away watching the snowfall while drinking my tea and snuggled up by a warm fire.

I’m human, I absolutely would love that! If you can do that, bring it on babe!

Having intelligent talks about ideas is a must for me though.

Thanks to those who have been posting artists for me to research. You all know how much I LOVE finding new talent!

I have to note that any contest, etc.created have brought me joy in seeing that others care.

They also help me learn about people, etc. for future projects.

I am thankful for you beyond words and for the joy you bring into my life.

Again, please do not assume I am or am not talking about YOU personally.
