Feeling grateful is a surefire way to feeling lasting happiness and peace. I thought why not take this time to exercise this. It’s the last week of February and I want to celebrate all the things I have been grateful for since 2015 began.

My Personal Trainer and Exercise

I am thankful for working with my personal trainer Jeremy on my health and fitness goals. I have slimmed down by 10 pounds. It’s definitely thanks to his guidance and wisdom!

I also run on the treadmill on my own at the gym and sometimes I will run outside enjoying the fresh air and looking at the beautiful trees and flowers.

Some of my greatest ideas hit me like lightning when I’m exercising. It calms me and I’m able to let off a lot of steam.

Hike at Big Basin

I’m not a hiker. I’m not much of a outdoorsy person. Ha, but the men I’ve dated have certainly been 😉 Anyway, recently, I hiked at Big Basin. Having lived in the Bay Area all these years, only now I checked out this place.

I was spellbound. The chilled air, the freshness of the trees, the natural scent all made me marvel. I felt one and connected to the Universe. I saw abundance everywhere. And it made me still. The stillness captured my heart, you can say.

Being More in Touch with My Emotions

Thank goodness, I have been working on that part of myself. Whenever I feel resistance or blocks, I pull out my yoga mat and lie down. I meditate. Other times, I’ll lie in bed and cry my eyes out. I’ll talk to a friend. I actually confront myself about my feelings and emotions now.

To tell you the truth, it feels super liberating to be this open and vulnerable with myself.

My Wonderful Dog Raja

I love, love, and love my dog Raja! He is my everything and lights up my eyes every time I see him. Playing with him melts everything going on in my head within seconds.

More Time through My Part-Time Position

One of the best choice I made was to take on this part-time position. I have created space for more time and have filled it up with things that make me happy.

Cheers to that!
