Thankful Thursday April 16

Good Morning from Camp Sunnyside!! It's #ThankfulThursday!! What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for People in my life who have been an #Example for me!! I'm thankful that I've had positive influences in my life that lead by example with their actions!  Anyone can talk a good game,  but few Walk the Walk!! Our #Actions speak louder than our words.  Learn to trust people by who they show you to be and not by what they say. Too many times we fall for slick, fast talking "promises". People will  show us who they are by fulfilling those promises, then you can trust them.  We need to remember that we show who we are to other people by our actions too!

How many times have you heard someone complain about their life situation over and over again and yet never take the next step to change it??! This is what I'm talking about.  I had to learn that Taking Action is the only way to change my situation!! If I wanted to meet new people or learn something new or get in shape, I had to take Action and follow through.  Don't fall into the trap of a pity party,  Get Up and Take Action!! Ask yourself, what can I do about this?  How can I make this better for me?  And then Do It!! Life is too short to be surrounded by people who are all talk and never achieve anything!! Life is too short to feel sorry for ourselves!! May your day be filled with people who show you who they are by their Amazing Action. May you have the courage to Take Action for your Own Life!  And may be Be the Example for someone else!! Happy Thankful Thursday!! 😊 #betheexample #takeaction #actionspeakslouderthanwords #courage #positive #inspiration #entrepreneur #fitness #empowerothers #empoweryourself

Thankful Thursday March 26

Good Morning Sunshine!! It's Thankful Thursday!! What are you thankful for today??  I'm thankful for Movement!! Movement in our Bodies, Movement of our Mental and Emotional Well Being and Movement of Progress!! All we need to do is just take One Step. Sometimes Life can get us broke down for a period of time and all we can do is just put one foot in front of the other. And sometimes we can be going through such a hard time that it feels like we are crawling through molasses. And then there are times where all we can is just breathe that next breath and be ok with that. It's All Movement! It's All Progress! This period of time that can be so unbearable is only temporary. And if we are making progress, we will get through it. Ever heard that saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."  Same goes to these times. One breath, one step, one bite... Progress!! We can get overwhelmed with all the things we try to do, all the hats we try to wear and all the things that we have to be for other people. However, just take a moment, take a breath and just take the time to appreciate how far we have come. We may not be where we want to be, even though we are no longer where we once were, we have moved Forward!  May your day be filled with Progress Making, Moving Forward Successes!! Happy Thankful Thursday!!

Brain Monday March 2

Good Morning Campers!!  What are you thankful for today?? I'm thankful for my Brain!! I'm thankful that its like a file cabinet or computer that keeps so many wonderful memories of our lives and we can just pull one up at any given time.  Our brains hold the Bank of Motivation and Inspiration as well!! If we go through our days just in the routine, we don't learn anything new, we have not worked out our brain. When we work out our body, it is an ongoing process, right?? So why wouldn't we think about that for our brain as well?! We don't just get to create a muscle in our biceps and then it will be there for the rest of our lives.... Actually, if we don't continue to work on the bicep, it will eventually turn to mush. So does our Brain!!  If we own a business, do we get to show up on Monday and everything will be great the rest of the month? We have to continue to be available to what our business needs!  What are you doing to work on your brain?? Whether you play Words with Friends, Soduko or reading a new book, it all exercises your brain. Maybe that's why my grandmother took up oil painting later in her life!! She learned a different skill and she was still sharp as tack until her last few years. Is there a new skill that you have always wanted to learn, a new language?? Maybe now is the time, Do It Now before your Brain turns to mush!! We have to practice the positive skills on a daily basis. Today, I decided that I'm going to be happy and thankful for all that I have and for all that I'm about to receive. Do you think that I won't ever have to decide that tomorrow or 5 years from now? It is something we have to do on a daily basis. Be Thankful. Be Positive. Be Happy. Exercise Our Bodies. Exercise Our Minds!! May your life be full of ways to Make Your Brain Stronger!! Happy Monday!!
