Congratulations, we made it to another year. We may look back and say, glad it's over! We may look forward and say, can't wait for the future (maybe!). But, let's not dwell on the past or yearn for the future. Let's just take today, this hour, this moment. Amidst your own pain and tribulations, joys and triumphs, the best way to be blessed is to look to bless those around you. Let's start very simple. Who around you needs an encouraging smile. A smile is so simple and doesn't cost us anything. So just notice who needs that smile. Maybe you can make a note of it either mentally or in your journal. Or maybe you will get joy out of the moment, realizing there's a lot of things you don't have control over in your world, however, you do have control over smiling at someone and gracing them with a small gift.
