So, I kind of disappeared. Didn’t mean to. I guess I got carried away by life, and wasn’t giving myself the time that I needed. Me time. Its important you know.
Thanksgiving happened. It was amazingJ I had a wonderful weekend. Maybe a few too many treats, and not enough exercise, but it was well worth it. Great company, great friends, and great food; what more can one ask for?
I know it’s the right season and all, but the word appreciation has been running though my mind over and over again these past few weeks. Especially since “Operation Awesome” has been in effect. I am feeling rather appreciative of many things.
I feel blessed to have my health, my family, my friends, yoga, my classmates, healthy food, clean water, access to everything and anything I could possibly imagine..... annnnd an unlimited supply of frozen yogurt.. yummmJ
Despite the “garbage” that seems to occur to all of us at times, how can we not be thankful?
Just a thought.
Any of you who know me, are well aware of the type of person that I am. I take it in. I take in the good, the bad, and the ugly. I absorb my own life’s little problems, and for some forsaken reason, I often feel the need to bury the burden of others.
This is definitely a key factor of this Operation Awesome I speak of. I need to let some of these things go, and I need to give myself... Me time. No I don’t mean time to laze around, or be a bum, but time to write..(like I am right now) and getting my thoughts out to help clear this recurring thought-jam. I must say though... things are certainly becoming more promising.
Again, how could my life not be awesome? There are so many things to be thankful for.
I must also admit I am a sucker for company. I love having people around. It makes me happier than words can explain. Its the friends that I can do anything, or nothing with that seem to make life that much more glorious. You all know who you are, so thank you for being you. I think as individuals we all need these types of friends... when we sometimes to struggle to find the right words, or struggle to make sense of a situation, it is these people in our lives that help make the pieces fit.
I even love my strange ‘stranger encounters’. I am not entirely sure what I have written on my face at times, but I absolutely love when these encounters occur. I love when someone just feels OK talking to me and letting it out. I think they somehow know that I actually do care... I don’t get it, but it makes me feel.... right.
I feel like tonight’s post is a bit of a scatter, I guess that also defines me. Do you ever catch yourself thinking about a million things at once, feeling passionate about all of those thoughts, then just not really being able to sort them out? Well, if so, write it out. I’d be lying if I said that this wasn’t like some sort of therapy.
I think that the ultimate conclusion to this post is to appreciate what you have. Regardless of the things that seem to slap us in the face left, right and centre, remember that it is these things that help us grow, they help us have a better understanding of who we are, who we are not, and who we want to be. Embrace the feelings, understand them, and let go of being the victim. Instead, take control, and realize that it is these stepping stones that make us stronger, wiser, and a hell of a lot more... awesome J
