There are times that we pause, stop and count our blessings. Usually these are times when tragedy strikes… somewhere… to someone... we hear of or know…
In life there are things that matter to us. Of these things there are those we can control and those we can’t.
Some things that you can control…
Your faith
Your choice of friends
Goals – short and long term
The actions you take
Some things you cannot control..

Invest in the things that matter, especially what you can control.
Take the time to show some kindness. A kind word can lift someone up, add confidence and serve as a springboard to bigger and better things. Practice being positive. Leave negativity behind. In doing so, you open the door to a brighter tomorrow full of new hope.
