I’ve been practicing what Dr. Rick Hanson talked about on Bulletproof Radio. Basically, take a moment for gratitude and let those happy thoughts sink in for 10, 15 seconds.

I have to say I am definitely happier. I’m also happier when I drink the bulletproof coffee.

I’m so grateful for my mom, my dad.

I’m so grateful to have this place to myself (Judy is no longer coming to stay here for a month! Yay!)

I’m so grateful that my business is doing well.

I’m so grateful that I have a nice body and a pretty nice face.

Right now I’m grateful to have Matthew in my life too. We don’t meet in person, but I like having flirty conversations with him. Turns me on so much. And makes me feel desired.

Yesterday I went bouldering for the first time. The people were nice: Handy, Zak, and Jenice (Jeneeese). So, grateful for that too 🙂

When I was leaving, Matthew pulled into the parking lot, haha.

It was the perfect timing. I didn’t want to “meet him”, but I did crave seeing him.

I turned my back to him, hugged my new friend Jenice, and walked away to the skytrain.

I texted him while I walked, and he was like, “Are you here??” I can picture him looking around haha. Well, sorta. I haven’t seen him in a long time. Can’t quite remember what he looked like.

Turned out he did see me, the back of me, and thought I had a nice body. That’s just too awesome. It’s perfect.

I always felt that my face wasn’t as good. I have sweat my makeup off, and probably looked a bit run-down after all that bouldering. Ass still looked good though, so that was all he needed to see.

He definitely was even more interested in me after. I know he hoped that I loved bouldering, but I didn’t. It was ok.

I didn’t feel amazing when I sent a route. It was hella painful. Hard on hands, and, as a beginner, hard on arms and neck. I had a headache at night because of my tense neck muscles. I was tense everywhere, and couldn’t even go to sleep. Today, I almost got an arm cramp just from opening a bottle a juice.

I like surfing in a wave machine. I think that’s way more fun. I actually feel exhilarated when I do that! 🙂
