Diaries of a Fluffy Rican: I am alive and able choose how I feel

I am alive today, and dutifully clinging to onto the feeling of being blessed. It's easy to feel blessed when the sun is shining, and the blessings are pouring in.

The challenge that comes with being human, walks hand in hand with our feelings. It's natural to ride the stream of emotions, yet it's also in our power to redirect it's flow.

Being emotionally grounded sounds simple enough. Just choose to be happy right? If it only it was that easy.

I've had a wonderful week. In fact it's been a wonderful two months, if I'm honest.

The mountain of anxiety concerning my trip here is gone, temporarily replaced with the sight of actual mountains.

Reminding me that the world extends far beyond the mundane and familiar.

A realization that in itself has been a blessing to me. For I am alive today, able to choose how I feel about this moment.
