Many years ago, all the rage was Don't Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson. It gave ideas for you to do things so you have a happier life. I bought it and couldn't finish reading it. I thought the book was ridiculous. I thought the focus was way too much on other people. Seriously? Think about people to thank?! Ridiculous!

I had forgotten that book was on my shelf until a couple of days ago. One of my teammates asked me to bring him a book - any book, so I went perusing through my book shelf. Funny how I left it behind even though I had purged about 1/3 of my books from that shelf to the library. I started flipping through it and thought it was brilliant. The things the author suggests in the book is how I am trying to live my life now.

I feel so enlightened. I am ready to read that book now.

And today has been off to a great start. I have been walking around with a smile on my face. My workout was awesome. I realised my progress over the last month has been amazing, and I am still able to do things that I hadn't done in a long time (kneel on a ball without holding on to something). Also, I've gained much strength and my posture is better, too! I love being aware!
