Hope.

I thought today was a good day to do my first post.

I'd mentioned to a coworker of mine that I was sort of feeling lost today and I was trying to regain composure but felt a bit hopeless. Later on he came to my desk and presented me with this Bowl of Words. He instructed me to open one each day. I then asked if I could open all of them today and he said yes, as long as I put them back in the bowl. :-)

Each paper is folded in half and "hope" is written on the outside. Upon opening each folded paper, you find an inspirational quote written by an optimist. Needless to say, this put a smile on my face and reminded me that life isn't so bad. I suggest you try this out on a friend in need. I plan on one day passing this gift on to someone else. (Thank you to my coworker, he knows who he is.)

In other news, I took my first yoga class today. I absolutely loved it. I figured I could either go home and jog on my treadmill by myself, vent about my problems (without actually doing anything positive to make myself feel good) OR attend the yoga class with a room full of other motivated people. I'm so glad I decided to take the class.

I also found out that my vegan donuts got 3rd place for Best Doughnuts once again this year in Orlando Weekly's Best Of. Yay! (I was beat out by two national fried donut chains of course...)

Have a wonderful evening!
