    Today at trader joes, as much as  I wanted to buy all my classic favorites, I took a step back and tried a few non-meat meals, excited to try them!

    The challenge of listing things each day you appreciate has helped me be so much more relaxed. Thank you to my best friend Danielle, my boyfriend Tommy, and my mom, for always giving me reasons!

    Today was a definite challenge not to buy a sandwich wrapped in foil on my lunch break, good thing I keep trail mix in the car!
