Sending out some good vibes

[StillSmiling]

I agree, Sally - "fake it 'till you make it" has always been one of the things that has kept me smiling through whatever wave life has me riding at the time. As far as the sentiment for peace goes, I feel very strongly about this, and needed that reminder today. Even feeling good; feeling energized can bring chaotic vibes into my world. Today, I was on a wagon ride through the most beautiful orchard in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. I'm working at the time (I am blessed with the best job EVAH!), so I'm surrounded by students and the other teachers in my program. I felt so great; so alive - and somehow, I remembered to take the moment, close my eyes and lift my face to the sun that was slanting through the leaves and branches above me. That was truly peace. And I find it beyond conincidence that this wonderful, perfect moment was brought to me today, on the energy of these wishes. I am most sincerely grateful. Very wise council indeed, eclectik... (or do you prefer Kat?). Sheri, I loved your comment about small steps becoming leaps and bounds. How true. Thank you for the reminder.
For today, my wish for us all is kindness. That we have the courage to extend deliberate kindness to those around us, and that we have the humility to accept what is offered, whatever form it may take. Big Love to you all, S.

Thanks guys...
For me my attitude in life is half of this journey I am on in the process of losing weight. In fact it is 100% attitude that has allowed me to experience the success I have thus far.

I hope for everyone here to attain an attitude of gratitude, an attitude of serenity, bliss, empowerment and love.

This has been one of the most enlightening years of my life. I have moved into a new consiousness... not to sound all new ageish or anything, but I feel I have stepped into a knowing about myself. It feels good. It feels right. I know there are many others here who feel the same way. In a wonky way, I feel the release of the energy I have been storing in my body for all these years is releasing so much negativity. I swear I can honestly feel it!

Glenn... we love you too... thanks for the link... it is an interesing link.

and sherri... I was talking to you

ANd stillsmiling... Kat is great....

Kath

Thanks for the interesting link. I've been using a very similar kind of "positive thinking" technique for the last year, and it's amazing the difference it's made in so many areas of my life. From a non believing pessimist, I became a real convert to the power of positive thinking.

I like your Buddha quotation too.

I couldn't agree with you more Sally! I love to smile. Makes me feel good.
Stillsmiling, your wagon ride sounds wonderful. I took in some rays of sunshine yesterday. As I was thinking about how thankful I am for what I had, rather than what I didn't.
Kat, You're so right about "attitude". Attitude is what has gotten me this far into my Atkins journey. Gratitude was definately an energy I had yesterday. I'm just so thankful these days. Thanks for that positive energy!
I experienced the same energy when I initially lost my weight Kat.
All the negative energy leaving and feeling it be replaced with the positive. Like being born again!
Today my thoughts are with commitment. Are you commiting yourself to this lifestyle 100% ?(Atkins) Or are you 1/2 stepping and not taking full strides towards a healthier tomorrow?
Atkins is a three legged stool so to speak. There's diet, exercise and supplements. With one of those missing the stool doesn't stand. As long as your doing all three, you're standing strong.
Here's to doing Atkins 100% and standing strong.

I LOVE this thread - so many like-minded people sharing thoughts, wishes and experiences; the inspiration I feel here is immense. Thanks to all for their comments and replies, it helps me more courage and commitment than you could ever know.

Today, I celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada. I have so much to be grateful for. My family, my friends, my life, my health, and my smile. My wish is that you all have the opportunity to count your own blessings today. BigLove, S.
