Unexpected Blessings

Hello positive peeps! I know I'm a little late but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you & your loved ones brought in the new year safe and sound. If you're reading this, I'm sure you did. :) So how's that new year's resolution of "letting it go" coming along? I know it's hard but I hope everyone is giving it a sincere try. I can honestly say that since I wrote "Let It Go" I have made a concentrated effort to let go of past hurts and negative thoughts that I had towards certain people and situations, and guess what? It worked! I'm feeling happier, lighter and FREE! In no way did this change of spirit come overnight (that's unrealistic), but before I really realized what was happening, I found myself at peace with the situations and people that I originally thought I would just never be able to find peace with. You know the saying, "ask and you shall receive"? It's true! And it really is that simple! I asked God for the strength to let it go and He gave it to me, just like that! I recently heard someone say to me, sometimes we have to forgive others before they ever ask for forgiveness, for our own sake, not theirs, and I've found this to be very true. And you know what we get in return? The blessing of peace of mind. Not only that, but when you're truly at peace, having a positive mind & soul, with no old grudges or negative thoughts in the way, there's lots of room for God to allow more positive blessings to come into your life. Those are what I call "unexpected blessings" because they appear to come out of nowhere. But in reality, they were always there, just waiting and ready for you to become open enough to receive them. So don't block your blessings! Let whatever "it" is go and get ready to receive your unexpected blessings starting today!
