Embrace your Choices...Walk Straight through Hell with a Smile :)

Do we really embrace whatever our status is?  As a single person I have often caught myself craving a relationship, yet I have many friends who think I the lucky one:). Clearly in those moments we are missing the opportunity to just enjoy what is. 

Perhaps it comes down to not taking a moment to acknowledge the power we have in choices that just become routine in our lives. As someone who has been married and now single, I can certainly sit back and appreciate the benefits to both. So perhaps the challenges we feel around our status has nothing to do without status at all but rather our perspective and failure to recognize and capture the opportunities that are present as we are.

It's Saturday morning... I woke up alone.  While I have at many times woken up wishing there was someone beside me, I recognize it is a choice.  I choose to wake up alone rather then wi someone I don't want to be with.  I also chose not to set an alarm, and therefore let my body wake up when it wanted to with no one else there to influence that.  Suddenly I was realizing everything was my choice and I could choose things that made me feel happy and productive.  I had no schedule just targets.  So I threw some laundry on and went for a run. While running I felt my thoughts drift, my mind processing my week past and my day ahead. Then it become increasingly focused on my body... My breath controlled, my face glowing with sweat, my legs felt strong...and I suddenly felt full. Full of everything, happy, healthy, strong, and doing what I wanted to do.  I had been trying to wrap my head around my day and how I'd get it all done, and realized I just will, and my body feels too damn good to hold second to my chores.

There it is, what do I want to do? I've decided to take a few more hours for myself in advance of my party tonight. Sure there's lots to do, but it will get done. In the meantime, I'm taking back 3 hours for me. Off to Yoga followed by a little water spa time at the Shangri-La.  After all, this is my life...everything else can wait :)

Embrace the choices that are yours to make. Don't let the little opportunities and blessings go unnoticed ❤. It's your choice, you could...
