Today, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, a friend posted on FB, "Do I have to have to wait until Thursday to be thankful?" She was being cheeky. But her message was true. No one need wait to be told to be thankful, truly thankful. It's your choice.
Life is on the move...flowing forward...yin/yang-ish all the time.
My dad would say, "You're always faced with at least two choices. Make the best out of whichever one you choose." True. Give yourself chances to explore the results of your choice. Be aware that you can continue to choose again. I like to add two words to a choice: "...for now."
Those words remind me that nothing is permanent unless you make it so. If it's a choice that works, that's pretty powerful for your energy. If not, then keep on moving toward another choice!
Thanksgiving is bigger than just one day.
I'm not waiting to be thankful. I'd burst!! :)

bruises
We all bruise.
Physically.
Emotionally.
Learn to read your bruises.
They're honest reminders to moments in life.
Well, most of them are. Some are a little trickier to read. The emotional bruises of the heart fall into that category. These, however, often manifest themselves with physical visuals: tear stained cheeks; red puffy eyes; forlorn looks.
If you find yourself getting bruised in exactly the same way over and over again, then STOP doing/acting/searching in the same manner!

Change up your outlook/your behavior/your attitude/your assumptions that the world around you owes you anything. Your own willingness to work at all parts of your life will garner results that meet your efforts. The bruising may still come, but hopefully in new ways and places. That indicates you've changed something. That's good.

In CrossFit, we bruise. It's a great way to see your technique, your successes, your failures. (Did you really think these mutterings would not turn to CrossFit? :) ) Bruises quietly coach you as you stare at them in the mirror to assess their meaning.
Bruises on my clavicles tell me the catch of my clean is solid. Any lower and I wasn't getting under the bar low enough.
Bruises just over my knees tell me I'm not opening up fully before getting under the bar. Wrong place to bruise...too low.
Reading these helps me to change, to work on my technique, so I'll have better results. Being a visual person, I call up the visual of the bruises to help me as I work on my lifts.

They're honest visual reminders to moments in life.
Be willing to change your outlook/your behavior/your attitude/your assumptions that the world around you owes you anything without you putting in some effort.
The bruise on my hip?
Damn table jumped right out in front of me!
No? Okay, read: I need to stop hurrying out the door.
damn.
