Unexpressed

Today I heard someone say, “Unexpressed gratitude is interpreted as entitlement or even ingratitude.”

So I’m curious about this. The topic was to do with ongoing, close relationships where people sometimes get lazy in communicating what they appreciate about one another.

Does it apply in the broader scope of relating? Something to consider…

I’m taking this as a reminder to write out my thanks for the wonderful experiences (no matter how small) over the holiday season! 💛

Every genuine thank you lifts the spirt of another. It’s absolutely worth your time.

It Works Both Ways

We often think that smiles are the byproduct of pleasant experiences, humorous events, or happy thoughts. Those things are of course true. A smile can also be an act chosen even in a moment that is less than joyful for the purpose of triggering the release of good feeling stored in the body. It never hurts to turn your frown upside down. You always have the option to call on your presence of mind to guide you to your smile.

Silver Lining

Some questions to consider for guidance in finding your own silver lining whenever you need:

1.How can you honor whatever this day brings your way?

2.What do you know about yourself that will support you most? Notice your strengths!

3.What are you grateful for and celebrating?

✨You have everything you need for bliss. There’s no need to seek contentment elsewhere. Be or make your own silver lining and if you’re able, share it with someone else. ✨

Much love and good wishes to you all!
