Motivational Monday

Hello Everyone!

Did everyone remember to turn their clocks back an hour? We hope you were allowed to get another hour of sleep or you increased your workout for an extra 60 minutes :)

For Motivational Monday today, we want to encourage you to think about what you are thankful for in your life. Much of the time, we are so preoccupied with all the items on our "to do" lists that we forget to stop and appreciate what is wonderful in our lives. Everyday conveniences become expected and needed even though years before they may not have existed. Have you ever felt lost when your cell phone battery dies and you are left without a phone for part of a day? Why is it that we must be connected to our email, texts and the Internet at all times? Less than 10 years ago, we would never have thought we would want to be connected all the time. It is only once we lose the ability to use it that we recognize its importance in our lives. Rather than waiting for Thanksgiving day, lets be thankful all month long to honor all of the amazing people and objects in our lives that support us. We challenge everyone to think about something different they are thankful for every day this week, write it down, share it with your family or friends and think about what your day would have been like without it.

One thing I am grateful for is the support and love of my closest friends. No matter what, they are there for me even if it is inconvenient for them. I can't imagine my life without them and I wouldn't want to! Sometimes we may take friends for granted and we need to make sure to express our gratitude for all they do to us. Who doesn't like to be appreciated for hard work and kindness. Act now because you never know when it will be too late.

Give a hug, send a note and pay it forward.

We hope you all have a wonderful week full of happiness and support!

Get Fit For It,
D & K
