I'm Happy! :)

I was just sitting here finishing some emails when I took a deep breath and prepped myself to mentally run through the rest of my day and tomorrow.

Mentally I ran through all my to do's for today and tomorrow and thought, well I'll be busy but not too bad. Then I ran through all I had already done today, Took another breath, and Smiled.

I just sat their and smiled and realized how happy I am, and smiled probably looking ridiculous especially since I am the only one in the house, some good chill music playing (  at this exact moment it's "Is this Love" Bob Marley ) the windows are open & I'm not sneezing !!!! Then I  started to run through some things that just randomly popped in my head that make my heart smile in this moment!

1. Of Course this collection of people .... 

2. How much better I feel. health-wise. I fully contribute it to some life changes I made and the diet changes I have made! I can not even find the words to full explain the magnitude of the difference!

3. Something else I contribute to this new state I'm in is Yoga....There is TOTALLY something to this! If you don't Yoga you should!!!

4. I LOVE my job! I work with so many AMAZING people! I go home so many days and just rave about the amazing people I work with! I am beyond blessed to work at MAC and have the job I have!!! But even more I get to workout for my job! I get to help change people's lives EVERY day. I get to play and smile and have fun. Really I have a great job!

5. Still on the job thing....I get to walk to work! That may not seem cool to you, but I can't remember a time I didn't want to live somewhere I could walk to work and other places I needed to go! I count this as a HUGE blessing to me!

6. Laying in the hammock on a warm day and feeling a cool breeze, listening to the birds and geese talk and just enjoying the moment!

And then a million other things I am blessed with! Amazing Friends, listening to my girls laugh, the ability to go out and run. ect ect ect. 

What are you happy for?

12. In conjunction, I can't stop eating! Hungry doesn't even start to cover it yet I am pretty sure if I drink my big glass of water sitting next to me I will no longer be hungry and most likely feel more awake...Moral of the story...Drink more water!

13. I am now on a journey to find awesome Yoga music and not the normal stuff....What's your favorite out of the norm yoga music?!?!

14. I JUST realized I have been gluten, dairy, sugar & soy free for 6 weeks now! I'll be honest and thought I would have cheated by now! Going strong, LOVING it, and don't plan to return to that  crap "stuff"
