Well, Well, Well....

 

 

In my very first blog "Don't Be Scurred", I mentioned how terrified I was to start a blog, how that for months there was this inner voice saying "Seriously Veronica, just write". After months of ignoring, I figured it was time to face my fears. Initially my purpose for writing was to get my head and heart straight, to remind myself the importance of today, to keep my life priorities in check and to tell my inner voice "see I did it, now leave me alone". What I thought would be an annoyance on everyone's Facebook feed and what I thought would only be read by my mom has turned into a positive avalanche.

 

The encouraging phone calls, the messages, the hey this morning's blog was a good one chat with my co-worker, the I've got that song on repeat text message, even the short conversation with my former trainer Kris at the gym "I heard you've got a blog or something. It's positive, right?" has been this massive wave of indescribable awesomeness.

 

I write all that to say thank you for reading, thank you for the encouragement and thank you for sharing a little piece of your morning with my ramblings and typos. The Adam Sandler "Nooooo there all gonna laugh at you" has been the furthest thing from reality.

 

Oprah says this quote below time and time again, and its led me to mimic her successful habit of taking a morning thank you walk. Every morning write down the ten things you are thankful for and everyday make them something different. It gets tough to not write daily that I'm thankful for my comfy bed and snooze button, but to dig deeper and appreciate intimate conversations, the birds chirping, gorgeous sunrises, hot tea, my vision, clean running water, music and more unbelievably nerdy inner thoughts that I won't share.

 

 

Daily Challenge:

Try taking a Thank You Morning Walk for a week. Write it down and see if you can come up with 70 things you are thankful for.

Mild Obsession:

It's the winning combo of being an organic protein shake with no chalky aftertaste and opening my fridge to a Hello Beautiful every morning that makes me mildly obsessed with Svelte.
