It has been a solid week of being spoilt by the people in my life that seem to care that I feel good about myself and the life that I am living.  The way they made me feel was nothing short of wonderful.  So thank you for showing me that there are so many spoiling’s in life.

When last did you get to show your love and appreciation for someone in your life?  There is a silent feeling of awesome that is followed by making someone feel great.  

Life has a funny way of showing us just what it is all about when you get a chance to spend time with the ones you love. When someone takes time to be with you and spend time with you, it is a gift that is not measured by money. Having a good laugh and sharing stories and experiences with each other and just talking about life makes for a spoiling.  I am grateful to everyone who has been available to me in one way or another, showing me that they have time for me and care for me-  that is truly priceless.

Take the time in your life to build better relationships with the people around you.  Find where you fit in and make the most of it.  Your happiness has a lot to do with the people you choose to spend your time with.  Surrounding yourself with people who do genuinely care about you is what makes life a wonderful place to be.  These people want the best for you and never discourage you and what you want from life. Instead, they are there to cheer you on and support you in all the crazy ventures you may choose.  These people in your life are there because you put them there.

When you have people that drain you and steer you away from the things that are important to you, that’s when you know that it is important to reassess your situation.  You have people in your life because of circumstances. This does not mean you need to make them part of your very inner circle, whether they are family or not.

I have learned one thing in my life: not always does family want the best for you, so find friends and others that will help you bring out the best of and in you. There should be no guilt when you do this because that only leads to resentment and bitterness and wow! that is not a positive way to spend your time in life.

It’s funny now that I am older, wiser and half way through life do I realise, that when I was younger, my grandmother actually mentioned this to me.  It took me many years of trying to understand this and only now can I say, that I finally learned the life lesson I was meant to.  Not everyone is going to want the best for you and there are more unhappy people out there trying to bring you down to their level, because they don’t know how to get themselves out of the dark.

Life is a wonderful experience, but you have to position yourself in such a way that you are looking out for yourself and your happiness.  Don’t walk on others to do it, but there are a lot of wonderful people out there if you just look.  Don’t imagine for one moment that you can’t change a situation or circumstance that doesn’t bring you great joy, laughter, and love.

I wouldn’t swop the feeling I have now-  surrounded by the people who really want to be with me and want to share life with me. When times are tough, they are there too and that is when you know you have a great group of people sharing whatever comes your way.  

If only I knew this when I was younger, I would not have wasted my energy in the wrong places.  Thank you to all the incredible people in my life who make it a better place.  I can only say to those who needed to read this that there are people who do want the best for you in every way.  Don’t stop looking for them, because that’s when you settle and ultimately lose out.
