Talking

I get excited by natural beauty.
I get excited by having deep conversations
I get excited by selling my high quality vegetables to appreciative customers!!!!
I get excited by just waking up and realizing the potential of a new day.
I get excited by hearing really good live music
I get excited by learning new tricks
I get excited by solving complex issues
I get excited by spending time with good friends.
I get excited by hearing good news from friends
I get excited to feel extreme physical exhaustion after a long day of work or play
I get excited by good food and drinks
I get excited by putting on a fresh new pair of socks.
I get excited by playing competitive sports with friends
I get excited by a good hot stone massage.
And on and on on on it goes. I was told once to try to come up with 150 things to be grateful for ... anything at all. I could not do it. I got close to 250. I give thanks for that which I am grateful for almost everyday, and as much as 5 times a day when I am mindful enough to do it. There is a lot to be grateful for even if it is a smile from a passing stranger. That alone is something to be excited about. Life is what you make it.. Make yours exciting.
