You may be down, but you are NEVER out-A little encouragement (especially during Mercury Retrograde).

This popped up on my memories today. 👆🏻
The timing could not have been more perfect, in light of recent troubles, so I felt compelled to share a little encouragement. It seems that many folks, from around the world, are feeling the effects of Mercury Retrograde. Hope that this serves as motivation...

2017-Good Lord, there was so much that went down.
From May to August, this woman pictured, our dear heart of a grandmother, was on death’s doorstep. Like, have the funeral home number ready-type close to death. There were many tears.
So much was uncertain-it was as equally frustrating as it was scary.
But, on this day, after months of prayer and positive energy, SHE CAME HOME!
First, and foremost, I am incredibly thankful to still have her around. That, in and of itself, is a huge blessing.
However, the main point I want to emphasize is this...You may be down, real real down...but NEVER EVER count yourself out. Circumstances may appear dismal. Trust me, I’ve been there-I’m feeling some struggles right this very moment.
BUT-know that you hold the power to change an awful lot. Just by shifting your mindset to an attitude of gratitude alleviates some of the weight you may feel. Because let’s face it, feeling down is a pretty heavy feeling isn’t it?
Sure, it may be so much easier to type out these words than it is to actually apply it.
However, I urge you-and I am taking my own advice here, to find something (a memory, a picture, a person or an activity) that uplifts your spirit. Something that you can’t help but smile or laugh at.
It may not be the end-all answer to your woes, but that shift in mindset is such a pivotal point.
Maintain that attitude of gratitude, take forward action, believe in good outcomes, and over time you will see positive changes unfold.
Let our dear grandmother serve as a visual testament-“it ain’t over until it’s over”.

Repeat after me...I may be down but I am NEVER out!
