25 Days of Sunsets!!

 The days of popping out chocolates from the paper calendar is being replaced by sunsets!! I am making the time for reflection and creativity as I visit the beach or get somewhere to view the sunset each day.  The vast ocean and the beautiful colors remind me of the sea of opportunities presented to me and that my creative ideas can be as beautiful and different as every sunset. I want to commit to appreciating the beauty of nature and appreciating myself by taking this time to stop and enjoy the view. So I hope you enjoy the sunsets, the biggest light of Christmas this season!

I am still feeling Thanksgiving. No, I didn't eat that much, but seriously, this past week has left me with this warm and fuzzy feeling! I've come along way this past year and last week I FULLY appreciated how good it feels to be alive.  It felt right, normal, full of love, support, appreciation, holiday fun, family and adopted family.  I was able to be fully present, not thinking about my breathing.  I know that won't always be the case, but I am mentally better prepared to withstand health trials. I've realized no matter what I do, things are going to happen, for better or for worse, all I can do is control my response. So I've got to keep on truckin' through the rough and the rad, but last week was definitively rad! I don't want this heavy feeling of Thanksgivingness to go away....I want to bottle it up and save it for a bad coughing day!
