Practicing Greatfullness

in #life8 years ago

So, this was originally going to be a post about my vegan journey, but a funny thing happened right as I was about to begin. My internet went out!

I didn't let it get me down too much, so I decided to draft my post in notes and save it for upload later. I kept checking the modem connection every few hours, to no avail. My phone connection at home is not that great either, so I was basically disconnected for a day. I caught myself complaining under my breath, then remembered, hey, you've lived without the net before. I closed my eyes and started stating the things I am grateful for outloud. By the end of it all, I just laughed and curled up with a good book. The point of the story is, to focus on the things you are grateful for in your life. Focus on the people who lift you up and always remember to have patience and be greatful you woke up to live another day! Don't sweat the small stuff.

That's karma telling you to eat more meat! Totally kidding, nice post. I just started following you from the Steemit Superstars Facebook group and I wanted to check out a post. Before I hopped on here to read some posts, I was just saying to myself how blessed I was after hearing my 8 year old daughters wonderful laugh.

I look forward to your vegan journey. I'd love to discover some new recipes.

Awesome and looks like I am already following you :) can't wait to check out your posts!

Exactly! The more we find to be grateful for > the more that comes inside our experience :D <3

That's right!

Good Stuff. It's important to go with the flow like you did when bad things happen. Good for you. I just wrote about something similar. Posted it just a few mins ago. Check it out if you'd like.

I will check it out and thank you for the feedback.

one time i went on magic mushrooms diet for 3 weeks in gili air and my body for 6 months refused alcohol, smokes and went completely vegan... then one day this lady i wash crushing on offered me a beer... i took it.
