For motivation to last, it requires constant thinking with daily positive reinforcement.

The holiday season always makes me think about gratitude and blessings; about all the things that we take for granted.

We Americans have such an overabundance and such busy lives that we forget about the simple blessings in life. Sadly, we forget to be grateful. 😢
