Gratitude on the go! 3-27-15

Hello there again old blog. I've been severely neglecting you. I'm sorry. I am not gonna promise that I'll write in you every day, but I will try to keep posting on a regular basis. I need to remind myself how much gratitude is important in my every day life. Like yesterday, I went to get a donut because I was feeling kind of crappy and the lady behind the desk gave me two for the price of one. Thanks, donut lady! You really made my day. :)

Recently I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease. It was about a 4 month process to actually figure out what was wrong. As much as it sucked to hear, it was also a relieve to get a diagnosis. I'm grateful for that. Obviously it's still a process to try to figure out what will work best for my body and stuff like that but I'm trying to take it one minute at a time. Stress obviously doesn't help anything, so whenever I get upset I'm trying to take a breath and remember the things that I am grateful for. It's actually been quite helpful.

In conclusion, I'm gonna write more about what's making me happy. I'm gonna make a conscious effort to live in the moment and be thankful for all the good that surrounds me every day.

So today, here are some quotes that I'm grateful for:

"Practice is like raising a duck. If it grows fast or slow, it's the duck's business not yours. Let go & just do your own work."

"Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others love yourself and you will be loved."

"It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."

"Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf."

"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." 

"Taking good care of you means the people in your life will receive the best of you rather than what is left of you."
