Happy Thanksgiving long weekend to all my Canadian readers! I am so grateful that I started working on this blog in the summer! It goes along then, that I am grateful for the stoned version of me who decided to buy a domain name and call it Philosopherontherun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She had high hopes for my future self, and I\u2019m sitting here, every waking moment thinking about how to become more like the name of my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I make it more me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, there is no answer, but there is just a vision in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainly elephants, roses, lotus flowers, and of course it\u2019s pink, and probably sparkly too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does that seem like it goes with the name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huh, not really, but maybe if I throw in a picture of me running while wearing or embodying all these things it\u2019ll be more true to the name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you grateful for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many things to be grateful for in this life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to write a list of all the things that I am truly grateful for;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not everyone is as blessed as I am, sometimes I consider it less of a blessing to still live with my parents, and sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But everyone goes through life at their own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve already lived away from home, and I remember coming home as often as I could for the first two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also wonderful because my parents cook and I don\u2019t have to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These creatures mean the world to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The love I have for animals goes so deep inside my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wished for a dog from the moment I could comprehend what a dog was! And now I have two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun fact though, I am actually allergic to cats, and some tree nuts, but that never stopped my family from adding a cat to our nest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, we got our cat in August of 2011, the summer I spent packing and moving into residence, and preparing for my first year of undergraduate studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I love this cat more than anything, and I am not allergic to her, unless I cuddle her, or hold her, or do anything where the fur gets near my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Friends, mentors, colleagues, and others who support me There are so many people in my life on a daily basis who just make it that much better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My gratitude toward my friends is so strong it fills me with a warm love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am beyond thankful for the people who take the time to mentor me, and put up with my ever changing moods of inspiration, and lack of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not like my endless silly questions are enough, like Kristina, the internet does exist\u2026 yes, but I prefer to ask people and hear it from people I trust rather than use my eyes, and brain and find it on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m weird and I\u2019ve accepted it, I\u2019m just grateful that others can accept it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of my mentors and friends, even encourage my weirdness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the funniest to me, like guys, I already don\u2019t fit in, are you trying to make it more obvious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could write a book on things and people I am grateful for and list 100 reasons each!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I will stop with these three things because they are the most important to what I do on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess it\u2019s four things because I am grateful for the people who read my blog, and take the time out of their lives to attempt to understand what my brain spits out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hahaha, I\u2019ve had one too many vegan cookies, and a whole bottle of Vanilla Chai by bolthouse farms, which, if you\u2019re vegan and haven\u2019t tried, it is a MUST!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that gratitude holds a lot of power within it, and writing out the things you are grateful for everyday is a powerful method of personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you enjoyed reading this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with light and love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Thanksgiving long weekend to all my Canadian readers! I am so grateful that I started working on this blog in the summer! It goes along then, that I am grateful for the stoned version of me who decided to buy a domain name and call it Philosopherontherun! She had high hopes for my future self, and I\u2019m sitting here, every waking moment thinking about how to become more like the name of my blog. How do I make it more me? Honestly, there is no answer, but there is just a vision in my head. Mainly elephants, roses, lotus flowers, and of course it\u2019s pink, and probably sparkly too\u2026 Does that seem like it goes with the name? Huh, not really, but maybe if I throw in a picture of me running while wearing or embodying all these things it\u2019ll be more true to the name! What are you grateful for? There are so many things to be grateful for in this life. I want to write a list of all the things that I am truly grateful for; 1. My family Not everyone is as blessed as I am, sometimes I consider it less of a blessing to still live with my parents, and sister. But everyone goes through life at their own pace. I\u2019ve already lived away from home, and I remember coming home as often as I could for the first two years. It\u2019s also wonderful because my parents cook and I don\u2019t have to! 2. My dogs, and cat These creatures mean the world to me. The love I have for animals goes so deep inside my soul. I wished for a dog from the moment I could comprehend what a dog was! And now I have two! Fun fact though, I am actually allergic to cats, and some tree nuts, but that never stopped my family from adding a cat to our nest! In fact, we got our cat in August of 2011, the summer I spent packing and moving into residence, and preparing for my first year of undergraduate studies. Now, I love this cat more than anything, and I am not allergic to her, unless I cuddle her, or hold her, or do anything where the fur gets near my eyes. 3. Friends, mentors, colleagues, and others who support me There are so many people in my life on a daily basis who just make it that much better! My gratitude toward my friends is so strong it fills me with a warm love. I am beyond thankful for the people who take the time to mentor me, and put up with my ever changing moods of inspiration, and lack of it. It\u2019s not like my endless silly questions are enough, like Kristina, the internet does exist\u2026 yes, but I prefer to ask people and hear it from people I trust rather than use my eyes, and brain and find it on the internet.
