This life is what you make it and for awhile I was letting it get the best of me, drag me down and push me around. After my 34th birthday which I will have to admit was one of the roughest birthdays I had ever had, I woke up. Some reason something hit me and I knew that something had to change. My mind and thoughts were spiraling and I needed to get it under control. When I looked at everything going on I saw it all started with me. My low self-esteem, pain, hurt, sadness, postpartum, emotions, my divorce, past relationships, present relationship, so on and so forth. I had a negative and awfully sad attitude and I was no longer going to let it keep going the way it was. I decided that I was going to find a more positive and happier me. No longer was I going to let these things affect me for the worst and instead use them as steps to climb up out of the dark and back into the light. Everything that happens in life you can either let it remain as it is, be negative and allow it to make you sad and bitter or you can use it as a learning moment and turn it into a positive and make that guiding light a lot brighter. The one thing I know beyond a doubt that I am good at is helping people. I have done home health care, taken care of family and friends and was going to school to be an R.N. with a photography minor. What a mix I know. Well as I was going through and getting my tools together that I have used in the past when I had hit a low point in the past I decided while having a couple of conversations with friends and family about the life happens moments and what are you going to do lie down or pick yourself up. As I was talking about what I was fixing to do it was stated why not blog about it and share what you are doing. Give instructions and share what you do when you are in a rut and blue period so that others can use it and maybe help them. Yeah need less to say the light went off and here we are. I decided to start a motivational Facebook, www.facebook.com/CanKanMotivation and put my self and my life out there here in this blog in the hopes that it will help others.
So enough about me and lets get to today. Today I got a call from a friend and first thing she said was you are insperational. Me of course ask her why and she states, because of what I am doing and how I inspire her and she would like to add that to my board. That I am inspirational. I told her it was a every seven day thing and that I will add it later, but as I thought about it and as I was talking to her I changed my mind. She is and has gone through a lot in her life, she is a great friend and she took a moment out of her day to call me and tell me she wanted to add a word and that to me meant so much
that I decided that yes I would still add my positive descriptive word of myself that I would clip from something I found or read as well as I would write and put her initials with her word to my board. With her word and putting it to my board it will remind me that even if she is the only one that it has help inspire and help her find her CanKan attitude then I did what I set out to do and that is help someone. So doll your word is on my board and I love you to death. I could not have asked for a better woman to call a friend. I also went to find my word of the day. The word I would use to describe me. And I so found it on the very first thing I looked at. A add on a flyer set to the house. It had the word SPECIAL. 
Next we come to the ONE GREAT THING A DAY JAR. So many great things happened today and I was so happy and had the biggest smile through out it all. Minus a few moments that tried to get that smile. But so many things went on and so many great things made my day that in the end it was extremely hard to pick just one to write and put in the jar. But after great debate and great thought I finally chose one. My great thing of the day was...... While I was at my neighbors house my son decided to stand up using the end table turn around let go and take a step before stopping for a second and then falling to the floor, then getting to Skype with his dad and see the smile on his face as he looked at his son and heard all about it.
So as we go into tomorrow, a new day. We are going to find and clip another word and use our words to define us, define our life and define our actions to create a better us and give us our CanKan attitude. We are going to try something new weather it's a new hair style, going somewhere new, doing something new, but we are going to do something new as well as at the end of the day we are going to take are day and find that one great thing that happened, that one great thought or action and add it to our jar.
I so look forward to another day, another post and another blog. I hope you continue to follow and enjoy. Please as always feel free to post your comments, your word or words as well as feel free to share what your great thing of the day was. I would love to hear it. Remember you define you through how you treat you and how much you believe in you, no matter how bad yesterday, the day before or today was, tomorrow is a new day. It is up to you and from me to you to become the best you and find your CanKan attitude. Goodnight my friends
