I consider myself a positive person and it’s something I strive to be every day. There are times in life when that can be difficult. The end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 has been one of those times. A few days before Christmas I broke my ankle and on the 30th of December, the day before I was supposed to leave on a week and half long vacation, I had surgery to install a plate and two screws to fix my broken ankle. I missed the cruise and several other events since then. I went from super active to inactive and my body not be able to keep up with everything my brain wanted to do. This was a real struggle for me but I still tried to stay positive. Then in January I lost my Granny. A woman I adored. I grew up around her and even when my life took me to other places we stayed close. In fact in 2013 I moved in with her for several weeks in December to provide around the clock care allowing her to spend one more holiday home before moving to a skilled care facility. It became very difficult to stay positive. I was struggling to find some way to get back on track when I came across a YouTube video by one of my favorite personalities, the Kid President. His videos are inspiring and it was just what I needed. It was called “HEY INTERNET! LET’S #MakeItHappy! From Kid President.” by Soul Pancake. You should check it out.
Sometimes when it is really dark we need someone else to shine a light in order for us to find ours. Thank you Kid President for helping me to find my light! Once you find your light shine it on your life and look for all the good things. Maybe even use your light to help someone else find theirs!
