Ok, so this is a bit predictable, but anyhow when having a relaxing bath earlier I thought I'd go for it.
This time of year is one where a big divide is put into society. There are those who declare they will become a new person at the strike of midnight, and there are those in reality. That's a tad harsh, I know. However, New Years Eve shouldn't be a time to focus on all the things we don't like and want to change about ourselves/our lives. It should be a time to celebrate our lives and the positives...whether that be simply having a roof over our heads, access to warm water/electricity, and bed to get into every night: a time to be grateful for ALL the little bits and pieces.
It's always the little things that have the biggest difference, so if you take into account all the times someone cared enough to ask how you were and be genuinely interested, all the times a random stranger smiled at you on the street, all the time you DID get to see those you care about (not the time you didn't), all the little accomplishments like getting out of bed when that seems impossible.
You see, those things are so often not noticed because they don't scream out "THIS IS A BIG THING", but it's these things we should be more grateful for :)
So, if New Years is a time filled with bad memories, why not take this year to make some new memories.
Grateful for all the little random things that made you smile even for a second? Thought so. So why not take control of your happiness and also brighten someone else's day:
For Yourself:
One of the directors at Minds Like Ours, Bex, posted about this earlier and I thought it would be good to share it here to:
For Others:
An idea: to leave little inspirational messages on sticky notes at random public places for people to find. One smile could change someone's day :)
Quick mention of a very lovely, inspirational lady, Kimbereley!
