The people who were going to do jumping photos with me cancelled… so, I jumped around on my own 
and as always had a fun time. I found some cool industrial spots in North Vancouver and jumped around with some dump trucks and tractors.
Have a wonderful day!

embrace the gifts you’ve been given…
“If you embrace the gifts you’ve been given, you’ll focus less on what you think you don’t have. The sexiest people are those who exude inner beauty and confidence. The more comfortable you are with what you have, the happier you will feel and the more attractive you will become.” — Gabrielle Bernstein

What you do counts more than what you say you do…
“What you do counts more than what you say you do. Your actions tell everyone who you really are. If you want respect, then show respect for others. If you want to be a person of action, then take action. If you want to be successful, act successful in all you do. If you want other people to help you, then help them first. If you want love, then show that you are a loving person. Your actions grow the forest that becomes your life’s journey.” — Don Shapiro

The beauty you see is seen through your eyes…
“The beauty is everywhere and absolutely free, go out in the world and drink it. Inside your heart it revels and dwells into endlessness. Outside so within it resides and meets your eyes, your heart, as you are there to face it, ready to see it, to feel it, to know it. The beauty you see is seen through your eyes, yes, but is within you, already, and the world you see before you, a reflection of that, an expression of you, life awaiting anew and anew.” – .solaz – Sofia Norman

the winds will carry you…
“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and at last begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” ― C. JoyBell C.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life…
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie

Jumping to conclusions, jumping out the window or jumping for joy?
Today I am happy to share this wonderful guest post by Arminda Arsoi, a positive psychotherapy consultant from Romania. Enjoy!
Jumping to conclusions, jumping out the window or jumping for joy?
Jumping for joy, well that’s another story…
I remember when I was a kid jumping like a grasshopper in my parents’ bed. It was so much fun that I didn’t stop till I smashed my head to the side of the bed and cut open my eyebrow.
I gave my parents an adrenaline flood, I gave myself an amnesia and a mark for life. Which I proudly wear now as a proof of my joyful childhood!
I think we all agree that kids are more joyful than adults and they have a better knowledge about what they need to do to get some joy when adults bore them. Science shows that kids smile 400 times per day while most adults smile approximately 20 times a day. When we smile the brain receives signals from the muscles used and encodes the gesture as happiness, which leads to creating authentic feelings of happiness.
I say we should take kids as an example and smile at last 3 times an hour!
What do you think happens when we jump?
In my opinion it’s great to feel you have nothing under your feet, to be a half a meter closer to the sun and sky, to kid yourself you can levitate or fly. Even for only half a second. It surely is spirit lifting for me!
With lack of scientific evidence I dare to advise you to jump for joy at least 3 times a day!
Research shows that smiles are contagious. When we see someone smiling, we feel like smiling back. And even if we don’t smile back, we have some mico-muscles that move involuntarily. Our brain records the micro-movements and makes us feel happier.
I don’t know what the effects of jumps are, but wouldn’t it be fun to see people jumping on the streets like kangaroos in the wild? It would definitely make my day different! As there’s nothing I hate more than routine, I insist: Let’s jump for a different perspective! Let’s jump for joy!
