A Giving of Thanks





This year has been filled with reasons to give thanks, some expected, others unexpected, all heartfelt and life-enhancing. I am amazed at how much I’ve accomplished and pleased with myself for resting and feeling good about it as I close the year. 






The last two months of the year are usually rushed, frenetic attempts to complete everything I said I would complete or that I’ve newly started. 


Realizing it's more important to wrap things up and rest is definitely something I feel deep self-appreciation for. I am looking forward to calmer and clearer ways of sharing in 2026. 


On this day of thanks, I appreciate everything and everyone who has contributed to my joyous expansion into the coming year. I hope you are well, loved, appreciated, and fulfilled.


Thank you for enhancing and being a part of my life.


In Appreciation, 


Sharonda

Be your best self by anchoring your positive points By: Sharonda Thomas When was the last time you actually felt good about who you are and where your life is headed?

A Positive Point Reminder

Image
When I got my first apartment the day I moved in a woman was moving out and had two paintings, she stopped me on the way in and asked me if I wanted them. Since I didn't have many wall decorations I said yes.  I would find out later that one of the paintings was by an artist (Roberto Lupetti) who helped restore the Sistine Chapel and was trained by that group of painters. When I hung it opposite a sliding glass door I thought for a second that the reflection in the jug was of my studio apartment, it lined up perfectly. Of course, it was only for a second because I knew paint shouldn't be reflective.  I am still marveling over the detail of this painting, and the multiple complexities it displays. I always enjoy viewing it. It’s also an example of something I received all mine to keep just for being me with no strings attached. A positive point reminder that good things do happen in reality and that I can look forward to more.

Old Endings and New Beginnings

Image
It’s been quite the year for me, with many different endings and beginnings in all areas of my life, all of which have brought about increased clarity and satisfaction. One area of importance is where I am where I’ve been and where I‘m going according to this nine-year of completion. I feel myself moving forward according to my passions and preferences, not alone, but in a way that allows me to do so with others who are doing the same or are wanting to and wanting to know where to start.  I respect my path and preferences while respecting the path and preferences of all others with discernment. I now release the tug of war called “uncontrollable” and allow all others to learn their own lessons at their own pace along their own path.  I now control the only thing controllable by me (me), which includes the way I feel and what I choose to focus upon. -Sharonda M Thomas Leave a comment below if you’d like to learn more
