Okay... I am taking a break from all the stinking thinkin.... It is getting old.  I usually post this somewhere else, but I am sharing with you guys today because I feel that you welcome positive energy.  I hope everyone has a Wonderful Friday.

Okay.. I am going to post THIS and my Something Special post together today because I feel they go hand in hand. 

I don't know if anybody knows the Gospel singer Albert Jamison, but I love this song.  The lyrics are basic.

Show Yourself Mighty.
Show Yourself Strong.
Show Yourself Awesome
In the Midst of the Storm.

In times of Trouble,
He will Give Us a Song.
Show Yourself Mighty.
Show Yourself Strong.


Here is the point.... If you are feeling weak and discouraged, encourage yourself.  Just because you are having a bad day, that doesn't mean that you should present yourself as if you are.  I heard once that on your worst day, you should wear your best suit.  Sometimes you have to fake a smile... but fake it.  The more that you present yourself in a positive manner, the better that you will feel. 

Sometimes there is nobody to pick yourself up but you.  I have to make the choice each day to do that.  I speak as if I am strong, even when I am not feeling it.  I do that because I KNOW that I am not going to bet better when I am feeling down on myself.  If I don't care, nobody else will either.


Take a minute.  What makes you a good person?  What makes you special?  What are you good at? Look deep within yourself... There is SOMETHING good about everyone.  If you are struggling with this issue, make an effort to do this.  Start with something simple, like you are a good listener or you have the ability to keep trying.  The more you work at it, the more things you will find.

Thank you Kim, for posting this.  Your words really hit home with me today, as I have had a particularly difficult week, so again thank you!

I also thank you Kim. I needed to hear this and I love the words to the song.

I've been trying to post to this since it was started.  I wanted to share a video that should make everyone feel better about themselves.  Let me see if I can embed it in the next post.

Just like anything else in life we have to practice.  When you're having a bad day fight it and remember that grateful list and mean it.  Look at a video like the one I posted.
Much love, Y
