By Kafi Zola, June 27, 2019 — I have a lot to be thankful for today. It’s important for me to focus on my blessings and not on my deficiencies. I must watch what I focus on because it’s so easy to become negative. I must stay away from people who are toxic and full of negativity. So many people suffer from depression and do not realize it. Many times if you just listen to people talk, you can tell what’s going on inside of their head. For instance, think about how negative people talk about the weather. It really disturbs me to hear someone refer to a rainy day as being nasty. All good and perfect things come from the Lord, so for me, there is NO such thing as a nasty day when referring to rain or snow. It takes a lot of effort to stay positive and many people do not want to put in the hard work to remain positive. It helps me to count my blessings at the beginning of the day, throughout the day, and at the end of the day. So, if I look for the blessings, I will find them.
