What do you like most about your life right now?

I didn’t wake up this morning to an alarm. I just got up when I was ready, lately it’s been shortly after 8:30. It’s lovely to be awake in the mornings; to enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to the birds chirping. Not to sound cliché, but everyday really is an exciting new adventure for me with more possibility than I could ever imagine.
Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky, and then I realize luck isn’t happening to me, my luck is happening because of me. Not to sound too much like Palulo Coelho (which would never be a bad thing anyway, thank you Kevin Foster), but the luck I seem to be having is only happening because I haven’t ignored my heart. Instead I listened to it, followed it to where I wanted to be.
At the moment I’m sitting at a little coffee shop I just happened upon, Fair Bean Coffee. It’s right down the street from where I live, has organic, fair trade coffee, and yummy vegan treats. Austin has a lot of these places, you just have to know where to look… although this place seems to have found me. It feels good just being here. I like to follow the Vegan concept of “do least harm”, or perhaps it’s a Utilitarian concept of “do most good.” Regardless it’s positive, and positive begets positive. Maybe that’s why I seem to like so much about my life right now, because it’s all, simply put, good.
I encourage everyone to throw caution to the wind, follow their hearts and do good. Which, of course, doesn’t mean you have to be good. ;) But that’s for another day.
