Thankful

Everyday be thankful for what you have and who you are.


Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, I give thanks that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf


Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, I give thanks that I can see.
Many are blind


Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, I give thanks that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.


even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud, I give thanks for my family.
There are many who are lonely



Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazine and the menu is at times unbalanced, I give thanks for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.



Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous, I give thanks for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.



Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumtances were not so modest,
I GIVE THANKS FOR LIFE

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”     Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in. The opening line, *"Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,"* is like a gentle wake-up call. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, wishing for qualities we don’t have or feeling inadequate because of some perceived flaw. As a young person, hearing these words felt like a validation that who I was, as I was, was enough. It’s one of those rare reminders that our val...
