#1 Simple things
I had an interesting conversation today with Danielle, it was about a lot of things, but in it we talked a little bit about how often people who live simpler lives are happier. So I'm grateful for times when things can be simple and I can just take joy in grocery shopping, making food, and eating it with people I love. Speaking of which, I spent some time doing just that for both lunch and dinner today. Lunch was with a mentor/friend from school, and Dinner was made while Danielle and I were talking about all of this--not a very extravagant soup but it was satisfying, tasty, and healthy.

#2 Health
I have a good immune system and I'm really grateful for that. I'm almost over my cold and I'm so happy that my body has kicked it out in a little less than two weeks. Whenever I get sick like this I often think about people I've known who are just congested all the time and how horrible that would be to live with. I'm grateful my parents taught me how to be healthy, and I'm also glad that veganism is so good for your body.

#3 Peace of Mind
I've had a lot less angst about my spiritual growth lately, a lot less fear, and I'm glad for that. I hope it keeps up. It's about time I'm freed up to actually do some growing instead of constantly trimming stuff back because I'm not sure it's growing the right way.
