Tell me about your CBD experience. Mine has been awesome! I’m still not sure why I hesitated as long as I did but I’m glad I finally decided to give it a try. And while I still have issues with pain, I would have to say that my pain levels have been reduced by about 75% or better. I’m sleeping better and at the end of my work day my legs and feet literally don’tshake with pain when I sit down. My anxiety and depression are at an all time low and I am feeling better and healthier than I have in years. @mycbdexperience @nuleafnaturals #stopforjustaminute https://www.instagram.com/p/Byau6DEF-Eg/?igshid=1gh8lteuovtmn

No hill today but a solid walk. I’ve been slacking a bit this week but I’m back to work. Come see me at the Vault Cannabis in Silvana (at Darrington, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwsvxOMAL9q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xwyd23b4ufj3

Old Sauk trail again today. I’ve lived in Darrington for 20 years now and have never really explored the surrounding area. I’m not sure why except that again I realize just how little energy i had being a smoker. In some ways, I’m sad that I missed out on so much, just not having something as simple as energy. Just this week I have hiked 16 plus miles. Just making up for lost time I guess. #stopforjustaminute#mybackyard#makingupforlosttime (at Darrington, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYVVBlgz8-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12x4xhtd81fv8

Today was Boulder River. I forgot how steep in some places it is and at times down right rough. But I kept going and made it just over 2 miles in and then back. I’m tired and sore but feeling pretty damn good. #stopforjustamintue#hiking#mtbakernationalforest#mybackyard (at Darrington, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVpuDLgpN0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16adzzple6szt

My hike on the Old Sauk Trail. This is the first time I’ve hiked in probably 4 or 5 years. This is the first time in a long time i have felt the energy to do even a beginner hike like this one. I never realized (or wanted to admit) just how little energy i had because of my smoking. I’ve been struggling lately and have been missing a smoke with my beer. I needed this to remind me of why I want to continue to be a non-smoker. #Juststopforoneminute#keeponkeepinpon#iknowicandoit https://www.instagram.com/p/BwS_QA-A-Iq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10dtwj5uev891

This, seriously says something to me. While I’m diffidently a talker, I’m also a listener. And as an empath sometimes, when I’m the one that needs to vent, it’s nice when others recognize that. #juststopforonemintue#beinganempathcanbhard#peaceloveandhappiness https://www.instagram.com/p/BwS6-W5gZQj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6jc6u9einb5h

Perspective and Reality

I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. Everyone’s perspective is different so in turn is their reality.

You see this in politics everyday. I personally cannot understand why someone would think that Donald Trump is a good president. I cannot understand anything that he says. To me it’s just a bunch of incoherent babbling.

Yet to someone else, he makes absolute sense and so in their mind, what he say must be absolutely right.

My reality about what is right and what is wrong is based on my perspective and how I receive the world around me. Which is also based on what my emotions are at the time.

When we are in a good mood, our perceptions are generally more positive and more in line with what really happened. When we are angry or upset our perspective is generally exaggerated. Yet when we reflect back on memories that are upsetting, the don’t FEEL any less realistic than our my positive memories.
