A Special Thanks To You

There are people in this world, shocker huh? There are actually LOTS of people, so many that you are bound to encounter some who are sweet and those who are pretty bitter. Unfortunately, it is easy for our minds to forget the sweet tastes because we are so focused on the bitter ones. They just seem to have a more residing impact on our taste buds, and if you think about it, our lives do too.

This is where you come in though, all of your contagious smiling and warm energy can really do a number on someone who is down in the dumps. You are capable of putting those who are in a funk into the grandest position that they would have never thought possible, at least at that time -who knows maybe even longer. I have come across these people and I am eternally grateful for them because they have changed my mindset when I considered just giving up. Their actions, smiles, and warm hugs encouraged me to be one of those people who attempt to make someone else's bad day a good one. No matter how much you feel like your drowning just remember that it is only a half cup of water and all you need to stand up- seriously just stand up.

Now let's take a minute to thank all those positive people in our lives, but let's also take another moment to appreciate the negative ones as well. They have their own struggles and need someone like you to lift them up and remind them to appreciate their life, It can't be that hard to make a difference in other people's lives can it? Now I'm definitely not saying that you have to be Mr. Rogers all day everyday because we are entitled to be upset, it's good for the soul. It's when we allow the negative cloud to consume us too much, it's not fun and it's how we  all end up with crow's feet on our faces. I mean the bad kind though, the good one's are awesome, You know the ones caused from smiles, happy wrinkles are beautiful so wear them loud and proud!

So here's my final message to you, you are beautiful and so is this world that you are living in. The next time you see a stern look on a passerby's face send them a smile, a simple smile can do so many wonderful things. I also want you to take a second right now, just a mere thirty seconds to send a message to someone that says that you love them, or that you appreciate them. Even if it's someone that you haven't talked to in forever, or someone who has been posting negative comments on Facebook. They probably need that acknowledgement more than you know.

Please remember that I appreciate you, who you are, and everything that you will become.
