Journaling has always been my way of reconciling what I perceive as my reality and what I want to happen. While I don’t always achieve the dreams I create on paper, sometimes things are far greater than I imagined. This is comfort and confidence in seeing words on the page reflected

begin to feel up and empowered.  Think about all the fun things to do in the warm months that excite you and this will get you Ready to Thrive again.  

To Thrive means to make strides, succeed, blossom, do well, flourish and prosper. 

We sometimes have challenges but there is always a way to overcome them and not just survive but THRIVE.  Just like the plants and foliage, we have cycles that sometimes are inevitable. My best advice is to go with the flow. 

Follow the cycle of nature. Take time to rest when it is necessary and use the time you have the energy to do the things that must be done.  Follow the messages from your body and you can thrive all the time. Our body is a great instrument in getting through our day. If you are feeling tired, take a short nap. Yes, you say you do not have the time, but you will be amazed at the difference it will make. You will feel refreshed and think clearly. If you push through your tiredness, you will slow down and not be at your optimum pace so it balances out time-wise.
