MY THURSDAY THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK - During each day there are those who choose to see only the darkness during the brightest day and there are those who can see only the light in life’s darkest hours. Every life is filled with choices that lead us either in a positive or negative way into our future. At the end of each day, we can say thank you for the many gifts’ life has given us or we can wallow in despair about how unfair life was to us in some ways. As we move to the end of another year either you have taken the time to create a list of all of the gifts life has given you or have you been only focused on what you deserve, want, need or believe is what life owes you? If you are in the first group, you will end this year with inner peace and a smile.  If you are in the second group, I’m guessing you will end this year with disappointment, anxiety, and regret.  In the end - every day in life is a moment by moment gift – each breath, each heartbeat, each relationship, and each opportunity. If you are reading this, you have been given many gifts this day.
