Monday Motivation - Weekly Moment of Gratitude!

What I am grateful for:

Show Your Support-Grab A Badge!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - NEGATIVE! -  I have never been happier to 'fail' a test! As promised, in continuation of my "Breast Cancer Awareness Month: My First Mammogram!" post, I got the results in the mail and everything is just fine! I've had the test on my mind since I took it, and when that envelope finally arrived I tore into it so fast you would have thought it was a publisher's clearing house sweepstakes envelope containing a big fat check! With all the medical stuff I have had to deal with this year it was such a relief to get good news from the lab and hospital for once! In fact I am attending a special lunch in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Survivors today, it's going to be an amazing way to start my week and totally keep me focused on the things in life that are really important. Without our health, we can't enjoy the gifts the universe is trying to send our way! Celebrate the survivors in your life by taking them out to lunch or dinner and creating a wonderful memory! In the end wonderful memories is really all we take with us! The Blogaholic Network has some awesome Breast Cancer Awareness Badges that you can use on your site with different neat designs. I loved the one above, that's actually a perfect mantra to say to yourself each and every single day even if you are not sick! Make your daily affirmation: 'Today I am NOT just Surviving, I am Thriving!"

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - YOU! - I just wanted to thank everyone again for your votes of support in conjunction with my entry for The Big Reboot. For those of you who also took the extra step of tweeting and doing facebook shares, thank you, thank you, Thank YOU! I really appreciated seeing those notes of support. I am definitely preparing for a 're-boot' for the coming new year in so many ways, winning this one would help put me on the right path to start!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - A little me time and the word 'NO!' - I had to use the word NO to things that were not a good use of my time in order to carve out a window of absolute 'nothing' that I got to fill however I wanted to. As that's totally rare for me, I really enjoyed it! I think it put me in a better place to start my week! Just remember, people can't use you if you don't let them. Don't be afraid to say NO, and mean it!

What are YOU most grateful for this week Butterfly? What will you do to get this week off to a good start?

What are you grateful for today? I'd love for you to write in and share what you are grateful for this week. The more you say it, the more you speak it, and the more you live in gratitude, the more you will find reasons to be grateful for, and the more reasons that the universe will send you to be grateful for. So join me on this journey of gratitude and inspiration. And you can post here daily (even though my list will be posted weekly).

Remember, attitude really does determine altitude.
