27 Reasons to be happy

I'm alive and in good health.

I get to taste and enjoy good food.

I'm not 100% fit right now, but I've prioritized movement and stretching and my body. I feel my best when I'm consistently moving (walking & running), doing yoga, Lagree, and Pilates.

Good Sleep.

My parents are alive and well, and watching me morph into an adult who’s good in society.

My lover is an amazing soul, and we ground each other while supporting each other’s goals. I used to prioritize building a life by myself, and it feels even more elating to build with someone who’s on the same page and wavelength as me.

Community. The state of the world might be in shambles (it always has been), but there's an unspoken agreement between me and my people to show up every day in our lives and focus on the things that serve us.

I live in a country that lets me have dreams and aspirations.

I'm surrounded by lots of love; my people rock!

I've visited the mountains two years in a row now and hope to continue that ritual.

My intuition never lies. I get burned every time I go against it and thrive when I follow it.

I have the ability to show up as the best version of myself for the things I can control in my life.

I have employment that helps me afford to live alone and focus on doing things that bring me peace.

I'm genuinely good with people and bring good energy to my personal relationships, social settings and daily life at work. Heck, I even like small talk with strangers when I'm in the mood. The kind where you both talk about something you value deeply with so much excitement and never see each other again.

I'm related to and friends with some of the best people in the world.

I got to see family and friends this past year, and I didn't skip a beat.

I know when to stop and when to go all out. Again, intuition is always on point.

I'm a badass designer and builder, and was right to focus on building my skills from a multidimensional perspective.

Pickleball. I haven't played much this winter, but I love how quickly I picked it up and became good at it.

I have a lot of empathy, which helps me relate to people well, and it makes them feel seen.

My ability to not give up on my dreams, even on the darkest days.

Witnessing the growth of Meenahmo in person.

My ability to connect the dots and bring clarity to situations, whether at work, while planning or understanding the world at large.

My little ear cartilage piercing. (I swear this shit makes me look extra cool)

I'm choosing how I show up in the world. I don't just wake up on auto pilot mode. I get to choose who I am everyday and refine the parts that don't work for me.

My taste in music, the arts, style, and all material things with an artistic side. I can't lie, living in SK sort of limits my exposure, but you can't take away a sharpened sense of taste. It finds a way to show in the things I do and how I interact with people.

My ability to show up for my people.
