Happy New Year everyone! Many of you may be off in observance of New Year’s Day, but I believe it really is the best Monday to be motivational, so on we go!

As most of you know, I moved. Some of our things couldn’t come with us due to space issues so we got a storage unit (or two). We went to the unit on Thursday to try and locate one daughter’s winter coat and our other daughter’s box of clothes. We hadn’t packed them ourselves so we knew this was going to be quite the search, but we had to try. 

We open the smaller of the two storage units—and if you haven’t ever had a storage unit think of it like going to the grocery store with just one bag and everything has to fit in that one bag even though you can’t imagine how this could possibly happen—but it does. As I looked at this packed storage unit I thought of you and me—this is us!! It is!

There’s so much inside of us that we forget what’s there. Some of it hasn’t been “seen” in a while. But just because we can’t see it or haven’t used it doesn’t mean it’s not inside—it is! So in 2023, let’s think of ourselves as the aptly named Storage Unit! Take mental inventory today of what’s in your storage unit! Do you remember when you stored courage? What about confidence? Is that in the far back corner of your storage unit? And where is persistence and grit? Or grace and serenity. It’s ALL there!!! Everything we need is packed in this storage unit, we simply need to be brave enough to open the door and go searching! 

So let’s make 2023 our Storage Unit Year! What we need is absolutely inside of us, we just need to recall when we used it last and go find it. It’s not an “If” question, it’s a “When” question. 

Let’s GO! WE GOT THIS!
