Working on Happy

My friend MJ shared a video today that left me wondering why I bitch so much. I should be focusing on the good things and leave the bad behind. Here's the talk. Watch it. Learn it. Live it.




So,  here are three things I'm thankful for today.

I'm thankful for my kittens. There's always one on my lap keeping me warm on the cold nights. Currently it's Skynyrd. They're still tiny enough for me to be able to type while they sit on my hands.

I'm thankful for my crazy motivation to exercise. Exercise is my therapy. It's my vice. It's my addiction. Though it can get over the top sometimes I'd so much rather have this as my addiction than other things. It keeps me healthy, focused, and happy.

I'm thankful for the ability to write down my feelings. It's my other form of therapy. I suck at saying what I feel in person. On paper, or on a computer I can let it rip.  My head hurts less after writing stuff like this.

So there you go. I'm on my way to training my brain to be happier.
Time to meditate.

I'm thankful for you. MJ sent me this video too, and I started on the steps he talked about in it a few days ago. One thing I said I was thankful for today (recalling our sushi dinner the other night) was that whenever I'm with you we almost always have a big, out-loud, from the belly laugh about something. It's such a good feeling. :)
