I woke up with a few things on my mind, some wonderful some not so great! We all know the feeling. My remedy: Cue my Morning Rejuvenation Mediation in my headphones, pack my gym bag and head out.

I wasn’t too thrilled about the fact it was raining but when I got outside, it was a nice crisp breeze with an after taste of chilled rain. Like the way the sounds right? Me too 🙂 My morning was slowly but surely starting to get brighter despite the gloom I was under. I had to make a pit stop at the post office before hitting the gym, I wasn’t too thrilled about the long walk from my apartment BUT I said to myself why not walk and not ride the bus. Lazy thoughts!

That walk was just what I needed! I’d forgotten all about just how Mother Nature can make you feel. Her touch, her calm to your body and mind brought a sense of peace I needed. That was slowly interrupted when I arrived at the post office to a line out the door ahh! However, I decided I wouldn’t let this interrupt my moment of relaxation, that inner stillness I felt.

Despite the way my day started, I’m reminded of the importance of taking a moment to appreciate the simple things, like taking a walk, being one with nature and just being thankful! I learned the true meaning of “BeEverydayGay.” Embrace everything and find the happiness within it.
