Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick note to tell all my stateside peeps, Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm not sure what you do, or how you spend the holiday, but I hope you are surrounded by loved ones (in all capacities-  siblings, friends, etc).

I hope you are thankful. It's so easy to lose sight and focus on the things that we don't have-  to get caught up in all the things we're still fighting for - all the goals we still want to accomplish or achieve. It's so easy to feel bad. But do me a favor, will you? Right now.. take a breath... hell, take one more and let all the things that you DO have fill your thoughts. Think about the people who love you. Think about the people who support you and want to see you happy and successful.

Stop beating yourself up. Let all of that negativity go. Love yourself. Love your life. It's not always perfect and it's definitely not always easy... but it's yours. No one gets your life but you. Make it great. Even when it's hard. :)
