Gratitude & Giving: Day 2

I keep stopping myself to remind myself where I am.

The here and now is perfect. I have no problems that are not abstractions or ‘what ifs’. I keep bringing myself back to the here and now: This beautiful neighbourhood. Experiencing snowstorms for the first time in my life (after 25 years of summer in Singapore).

I keep reminding myself that I’m in North America, the United States, New York City. Where I’ve always wanted to be. I’ve made it this far and I am here now. Somehow that makes things easier. I am very grateful for my circumstances and I have come closer to seeing that whatever difficulties I have to undergo are also opportunities for growth.

I try to focus a little more on my mood and on little things to make myself happy (instead of just forging ahead with projects/work/life stuff regardless).
