Thankful

I am thankful for coffee, freedom, simplicity, color, adrenaline, curiosity, meditation, progress, and all of the brilliantly lovely people in my life. I am thankful for positivity and kindness. I am thankful to know that happiness is a choice, and it’s a choice I make (almost) every day.

“It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.” ~Lucille Ball

I am thankful that I am able to teach my children to be respectful, open-minded and nonjudgmental. Nothing would make me more proud than to raise grateful, confident, caring and accepting adults who are able to form their own opinions and have their own perspective on life.

“All men should strive
to learn before they die
what they are running from, and to, and why.”
~James Thurber

I’m thankful for reflection and growth. So far this year, I have learned the value of questioning all things stagnant or repetitively and destructively painful in my life. I’ve discovered creative ways of changing or coping that are outside the box of what my mind normally looks for.

“Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.” ~Robert Brault

Dude. Let your curiosity be your guide. Have the courage to go against the grain. And, tell all them haters to EAD!

Shabba!
