Milestones 🥳life events🎢reflections (original post Aug 30th, 2020)

There are certain life events that force us to stop and take note of things...good or bad...some personal or family celebrations 🥳 or some losses of either material things or people from our lives. Whether it’s good or bad, we have to try and turn everything to good for us and those around us. If there’s something to celebrate 🎉 then enjoy the process and make that another excuse to keep adding to the good road 😁 Value the good already there in people and things and add to them to enhance your life. With the bad, there needs to be time for grief, for release of sadness and some of that may never leave your head or heart ❤️ But it can become something we can have as part of our life journey without letting it block the good. There’s a saying ‘things happen for a reason’...many times that has made me sad and angry when I have not liked the outcome of something but if things are out of our control-why let our sole purpose be to dwell on that and consume our lives blocking out the good waiting to get in, be it with work, relationships, friendships, so much. So, as a new week starts tomorrow-why not look forward instead of back, appreciate what we have here and now and hustle for what we would like to be part of our lives. We may not always get what we want in life-that’s just life, yes, sometimes it’s definitely not fair but stop ✋ and take that minute to remember who is worse off than us? Who has just lost a loved one gone too soon 😔💔, who has just lost a roof over their head and has to face sleeping on the street, who has to worry about how they are going to feed themselves or their family? Milestones in life can come in many forms-a big birthday, a work anniversary, a relationship anniversary-many things-so we can use them as new starting points for fresh starts, restarts, new chances! Let’s go! 😀😃😄😁😆😊☺️😌🙂❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍❣️💕💞💓💗💝💘💖#milestone #restart#appreciate #love #newbeginnings #family#trusttheprocess #cantchangethepast #lookforward#reflections #lovelife
