42 Things I’m Grateful for on my 43rd cycle around the sun
Have you ever noticed the older we get the more tempting it is to fall into the societal trap that tells us what we need to accomplish by what age? And when we haven’t accomplished these things we consider ourselves a failure.
Today, I'm sharing 42 things I’m grateful for that make my life rich by my standards, not society's. I encourage you to do the same and believe you are exactly where you’re supposed to be, right now.
In no particular order, I’m grateful for…
…my health
...yoga
…my husband for allowing me to be
…my enjoyment and ability to adapt to different places, different people, and different ideas with an open heart and mind
…my incredible tribe (local & global) who inspire me, encourage me, do yoga with me and support me
… my job that allows me to share what I love and bend a lot
... corrupt police (yes, white uniforms, compliments and speeding tickets go well together)
