370th Nurturing Thursday

When 2019 arrived – I challenged anyone interested to create an Awesome Jar. Then on New Year’s Eve – open the collected memories and reflect on the year. Did you collect weekly memories in 2019? Did you open those memories? What kind of amazing year did you accomplish? Are you surprised by anything in particular? I hope these memories and accomplishments spur new adventures, blessings, and gratitude for you in 2020.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger to a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie.

Happy 2020!

❤

What is Nurturing Thursday, you ask?

Think about it … In our amazing but highly competitive and aggressive society:

How many of us truly feel good about ourselves?
How often do we extend to ourselves … the same courtesies, considerations, nurturing, forgiveness and understanding we bestow a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger?

With the ongoing intention to accept myself with an open heart rather than label myself as “good” or “bad” OR a “success” or “failure” … I challenge myself, and I challenge YOU to treat ourselves with the same kindness, caring, and compassion we show a good friend. My goal for this year continues with striving and thriving in an atmosphere of self-compassion and self-kindness in my life. What about you?

To “give this planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy” … I dub Thursdays as Nurturing Thursday.

If any of my readers are interested in joining the nurturing, I applaud and welcome you to do so … the more the merrier!!
