Thanksgiving is upon us here in the US. We get together and celebrate with family and friends. We come together to be thankful for what it is that we do have in our lives.
What do you have to be thankful for? How far have you come this year?
What I have discovered for me throughout the years is when I focus on what I have that is working in my life and fills me with joy, that is what my life reflects.
Someone recently said "You only write about good stuff on all your posts. Is that really how your life is or are you like a duck that looks good on top of the water but is really struggling under the water?"
I thought about her comment and discovered for myself that I really do have a lot of wonderful things that happen in my life. These are brought forth by how I make choices in my life. I also noticed that I have bad circumstances just like everyone else. I just do not give them the power to bring my life down. I get back up and keep moving forward.
I make conscious choices each day to look for what good can come out of the circumstances. I look equally for the good in people, places and all challenges.
It doesn't cost me anything extra in life to offer a smile, give someone some hope or care about people and their success.
As you celebrate thanksgiving this month (& every month) my hope is that you will find what is good in your life and keep your focus on that. What you focus on is what you usually will create in your life. If you are looking for evidence of how bad others are you will find it. If you look for evidence of the greatness in others you will find it! What evidence are you looking for?
What are you thankful for? Who are you thankful for?
I am thankful for your contact, friendship, feedback and support to keep Be A Legacy moving along side of you.
PS. ~ I decided I am much more like the Swan. Bigger feet creates less paddling as I continue to glide in life. Letting the tough things in life roll down the feathers allowing the elegance to be seen and admired.

Design Your Ideal Life
Are you designing your ideal life?
Believe it or not you have a clean slate everyday to design the life that you want. Each day you get to choose what you will do and how you will respond to the choices around you. You can invent your life any way you choose. How you do it will be up to you.
Start designing your life by choice. Here are some questions to get you thinking and get you writing about your ideal life. Answer these questions with great detail. Describe each idea using your senses. Visualize the colors, sounds, smells and anything that can get you excited about your ideal life.
• How do you see yourself every day?
• Who do you want to be?
• Who do your spend your time with?
• Who would you like to spend your time with?
• What does an average day look like for you?
• What would you like your average days to look like?
• What do you do for fun?
• What would you like to do for fun?
• What do you do for income?
• What would you like to be doing for income?
• Where do you live?
• Where would you like to live and why there?
This does not have to be difficult. If it feels hard to visualize a long distance just visualize your ideal life for one day. What can you do tomorrow to make your life better than today? Take designing your ideal life in small steps. It took small steps to get you where you are today so pace yourself in your designing. After you get the hang of your ideal day then move to an ideal week and then month and so on. Once you have designed what your ideal day, week, month, year or life looks like then start taking steps to put it all into action. Start making the small steps and planning to live your ideal life.
We do not have to out do someone else's life. We only have to live up to our life! This is Your ideal life. You can decide how you live it, who you live it with and what is important to you.
Design your life with your loved ones supporting you and bring together the people in your life who are willing to help you reach your ideal design. What are you waiting for? Go have fun designing your life and your legacy.
