Day 3 of the 30 days of gratitude.

As with anyone, sometimes life gets in the way, so my blog is a smidge late, it's only one day, and that's better than two right?  This blog will be short, because (in short), I am grateful for my dad.  Yesterday was his 70th birthday and as I have pointed out before, he always taught me to celebrate the zero years and celebrate he did last night.

For those who read my blog on a more regular basis, you already know that Dad and I take our birthday's more seriously (in a fun way).  My mama never did, she said she didn't like the attention, and that's okay too, and although I can't speak for dad, for me it's not about the attention.  I have spent birthday's alone (when it fell on a weekday) and celebrated the heck out of them, because for me it is about another year.  It's a gift.  As I mentioned yesterday, tomorrow is not guaranteed, so if you're going to be grateful for each day, then why not celebrate the marker of 365/366 days passing.

There is no shame in celebrating your birthday like it is a holiday. 

Until tomorrow...start planning your next celebration.

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...

Mantra: I choose to be happy/excited.

  Hi!  I am back.  I posted my summation blog yesterday, talking about my thirty day meditation journey. I mentioned I would also blog about the daily mantra, but alas, I forgot.  Oops. Sorry about that.  I do believe everything happens for a reason though, after all how could I possibly write two separate blogs, about two things that go hand in hand so well?   I choose to be happy.  I choose to be excited.  I personally feel these two can be fused together.  I mean what moment of excitement didn't result in happiness, or what moment of happiness didn't result in excitement?  Though we usually associate excitement with something big, the littlest of things can also make one excited.   A few days ago, my dad called me up and we chatted for a bit.  Recently back from a trip to Hawaii, I asked my dad to bring me back a pen or two.  I love pens, they are my weakness.  It is also something small when people...
