It's the Thanksgiving week, and we can use a little more gratitude in our life.  So, today I am sharing few quotes about gratitude  to fill our hearts more with love and abundance and to remind us that life isn't bad at all! “Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!!  Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.”  ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free “Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart,  it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”  ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh “In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”  ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love “When we give chee...

It's Monday, again!  This weekend went by pretty quickly for me,  and I for one need some motivation to kick-start the week. The best way to gather some motivation for me is by reading,  and I resonate with quotations a lot. And today, I will share some of those with you guys too! “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” — Albert Einstein “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — C.S. Lewis “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.”  —Will Rogers How do you motivate yourself? What's your favorite quote? P.S.

Hello scribblers, How are you all? Long time since my last open letter to you. I know, I know, I was the one who had been absent for so long. Blogging again really seems like a comeback to me- can't even remember the past few years, they were so busy and fast. They still are, but writing is something I loved and therefore I have decided to give it my best effort by managing my time better. I started blogging again at the start of this year, and I am happy to be continuing it. And in this past month or so, there are a few things I have learned: Consistence is important , in everything we do. Even when we don't feel like doing it. Each day is different, and some days it takes a lot of extra work to get the thoughts from mind to paper. A little push on those days, and a bit of scheduling on the good days can help you on those seemingly bad ones.  It's quality, not quantity. The number of followers doesn't matter as much as the engagement with them. The num...

Hello scribblers, If you are anything like me, waking up in the morning is the hardest thing you do every day. I have been trying to make myself a morning person, or something close to that, for so long but even after I get in a routine one late weekend can just bring it back to square one. Anyway, I found this helpful list about "how to wake up earlier". I hope it helps me, and any of you who needs to! Happy waking up! Happy morning! Love, DT P.S.

I found this workout linkup on Britt's blog and I think it is a great way to be accountable to some other bloggers with the same struggles. How many pounds did you gain or lose? -1 since my last weigh-in How many inches did you gain or lose? +/- 0  Your weekly exercise or step goal, and did you meet it? My weekly goal is 6 days/week, which did not happen this week (gym was under some renovations). I did some workout for most days but I don't count it for much. It is good for general health and all, but wasn't much for my goals. What was your biggest challenge this week? Getting back to gym. I am a person for whom more than a day of break can put a full stop to all progress. I will need to kick my own butt tomorrow. What is your favorite healthy snack or meal? Avocados. I know they are fatty, but it is a healthy fat and they are nutritious and delicious- make a goof pre/post workout snack for me. Do you have any advice or tips for the rest of us? Don...

Participating in the Make a habit, break a habit linkup yesterday got me thinking. Every year we all set up a bunch of goals for ourselves, which we may or may not achieve. I fall in the latter categories mostly. So, I have decided to take a problem solving approach and break it down to more achievable goals and hold myself accountable each month. For February I am a few days late, but better late than never, right? Here's my list: Finish READING the book  ( A million little pieces ) I started few months ago, but never finished because of my laziness WORKOUT  at least 21 days this month - making a habit Stay active on BLOG  , I'd say 4 times a week maybe. Write in my JOURNAL  every day- one liners would do! STUDY consistently - more than 3 days a week. I will be back with update on this at end of month. Wish me luck! P.S. I also found these old February goals . Also, check out my linkup goals . What are your goals?  ...
