Life can be so challenging and exhausting, but there is always something good in everyday. Experiencing this sunset was one of the good things today. The sound of the waves during a sunset brings a lot of calm and peace. I checked out a new spot in Encinitas this evening. It was beautiful. Super grateful for the experience!

I am grateful for so many things today:

-A significant breakthrough today in brainspotting
-A book that literally spoke directly to my heart.
-A new connection that brought forth encouragement to my spirit.
-Someone took time to help me with issues in rehab and help get things going in the right direction, It meant so much, I have felt like I am handling so much on my own/alone in it all. I was grateful to have help.
-A great guy at the shoe store who helped me get what was needed for an injury I am dealing with.
-Willingness of someone to adjust a meeting time, which helped with what I had going on.
-A good conversation with a lady at a checkout line.
-The challenge group I am a part of and all the progress and wins they are making.
-An opportunity to lead a day challenge this week.
-Successfully reaching all wins today despite frustration and challenges.
-Eating at one of my Favorite places in Encinitas and getting a drink at another place later on in the evening.
-And of course this sunset experience......I am sure there is more...but this is a good start ;)

I am learning it is totally ok and valid to acknowledge and express frustration/emotions as long as I don't stay stuck in it. Appreciation and gratitude can help change the perspective of the challenges. It may not resolve the issues but definitely helps shift the focus.

Where's your favorite spot for a sunset?

What are you grateful for?
