My "one thing" I'm intentionally focusing on this year is gratitude... counting the blessings in all things and feeling true thankfulness each day.Shanna Hatfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299112395063586480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-53598390425566688952015-03-04T07:03:37.228-08:002015-03-04T07:03:37.228-08:00Such wonderful advice, Donna!

Even when your ability to communicate is seriously hampered, you can always smile. Now I realize how important my smiles and the smiles of others have always been to me. My 5-year-old daughter recently told me she did have any talents. I told her that God had given her a beautiful smile and that she could always use that to cheer others up. She was relieved, and I relearned the lesson while teaching it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297041154527087819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-1933412656784267792015-03-03T19:11:55.802-08:002015-03-03T19:11:55.802-08:00Great post Donna.
