Inspiration...

Last night, I was reading the newest issue of a magazine that I never subscribed to, but seem to be receiving just the same -- Shape. I am terrible about working out and eating right, but there is a lot I could learn from this magazine, if only I would put it to use.
Flipping through the pages, this little ditty stuck out to me.

Mantra of the Month
It's perfectly natural to desire more -- more clothes, more friends, more money; it's only human. But obsessing over the things you're lacking can make you feel dissatisfied. This month, take a moment to acknowledge what you do have -- anything from your healthy body, which can carry you through a six-mile run, to your best friend, who's really more like a sister. Remember that, while life can always get better, it's fulfilling to appreciate where you are.

This is very reminiscent of something the lovely Sal does on a frequent basis, and really, that is the entire point of this blog. Sure, life could be better, but it's pretty darned good already, and I'm going to be aware and be grateful for what I have. I'm a lucky gal. Positively Fortunate.
