Feeling Grateful

This is our springtime down here and it is absolutely beautiful. I live near some of the prettiest beaches in the world but I don't go often. Why?

I am a bonafide workaholic. Last night, i mowed the grass, weeded the flower beds and did the laundry so I could enjoy some peaceful time at the beach. (nothing like being your own mom). I picked up a book to read-"8th Habits of Highly Successful People". WTH...that is not beach read. I put it down and picked up my Travelling in Morocco book.

I got to the beach before it got crowded. The water is usually crystal clear but today it was rough. You can usually see the fish swimming between your feet.

I decided I would use the time for gratitude. I am healthy. I don't have to work 2 and 3 jobs anymore. I have cut out the toxic people around me and life is peaceful. I have planned my finances and i am going to be ok.

I am going to have to learn to relax. It won't be easy but that is my next goal.
