I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that, like me, your 2018 had both highs and lows to work through. My highs included publishing Shades of Deception, the first of the Fighting in Shadows series. The lows included the death of my father-in-law; his funeral was on the same day my book became available on Amazon. Bittersweet.
I know, without a shred of doubt, that 2019 will also hold both highs and lows. It can be tempting to allow those lows to slay us, to allow the frustrations from work or stresses from living and doing life with other people to push us into negative head-space instead of taking a deep breath (or a couple of them) and kicking for the surface. But this year, my resolution - a resolution I invite you to join me in - is to decide ahead of time that 2019 is going to be a wonderful year.
I saw a post on Facebook that said, "Be happy on purpose. Don't wait to see what kind of day you'll have. When you wake up, decide what kind of day you'll have." The statement reminded me of a sweet woman who used to come to our home for a small group Bible study. Someone had wished her a good time at an event she was planning to attend, and she remarked, "Oh, I always have a good time - I bring my good time with me!"
In light of both of these similar thoughts, combined with the knowledge that I may not know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow, I wish you all an amazing 2019 - it's going to be a wonderful ride!
Beautifully said. Thank you for reminding us all each day is a new beginning & it's up to us to decide what type of day it will be ! Positive thinking brings positive results !
