Coming from a Place of Gratitude

This week has been so motivating on many levels.  I keep thinking about the "Spiritual Practices for Times of Crisis" that I posted earlier this month, in particular the coming from a place of gratitude.  Its often hard to always be in a place of gratitude, sometimes complaining make you feel more interesting (there's always something to complain about).  Now that I am willfully trying to be in a place of gratitude I really feel like the effort it is so worthwhile.  Life just seems so much more pleasant.

Last week I happened to see a WW friend at the gym and we had such a wonderful conversation about seeing yourself and working towards things -- finishing a home, being comfortable with yourself and your surroundings.  I felt like she was really capturing the sentiment behind what motivated me to write this blog.  Of the many interesting things she was saying the thing I keep thinking about is how she is rewarding herself for her success.  She wants to really see herself and is buying a special full length mirror, sounds like it may even be bigger than full length.  I think that is so wonderful.

Tri training this week was a little disappointing since we went away for the weekend, I missed a swim and the shorter run.  I have planned my week this week so I should be able to fit everything in.  Have no idea how the eating went this week.  I think overall good but I've had my binging moments.  Its been hot so I always feel like I've burned calories but it could just be the temperature.  I am going to hit the gym hard this week though just in case.  I filled out my application for school but after corresponding with the school I've decided to hold off one more year.  Basically, if we move next year I'd have to find a school that would accept the credits.   Sounds like a pretty big "if" since its only a two year program most schools want you to attend for both years.  I'll look into it a little more but holding off seems like thing to do.  Definitely starting tomorrow with my wheat grass.
