Today’s post is written by a very good friend of mine the ever so lovely Jodie. Jodie’s piece is on living a positive life.

I think we can all take a bit out of what she has to say.

Hi my name is Jodie and I’m honoured that Yvette has asked me to be a guest blogger on The Stylist Splash.  I’m a Mum to three wonderful boys, a wife to my best friend George and I love to run, bake, organise and travel.

Today I want to talk about gratitude and living a positive life.

I CHOOSE to live a positive life.

Yes it is a choice!!!!

I choose to be grateful for all that I have and to make sure that those who are important to me know just how much they mean to me.

Of course just like everyone else I have challenges but the key to a positive life is to always look for the good in any situation, no matter how hard it may be at the time.  Staying positive and showing gratitude are the first steps in living a positive life.

Today I am grateful for healthy happy children, a roof over my head, food on the table, wonderful family and friends and the chance to live another wonderful day.

What are you grateful for?

Thank you so much Jodie for taking the time to share with us with this valuable information. We have all got to take control of our own lives and this post is a perfect example of that.
