Thursday Thankfulness: Just About Everything

Good morning, my lovelies, and welcome to another glorious Thursday!  I hope you’re all doing splendidly.

It’s glorious here, I say, even though it’s massively rainy.  It needs to be, though; we’ve had very, very little rain this summer, and that’s odd for an area that eclipses Seattle for annual rainfall.  (Seriously.  Seattle?  38.25 inches.  Charleston?  44.05 inches.  I know, right?)  So it’s good that it’s currently dripping like a kindergartner’s nose in flu season.  (Yummy analogy, no?  Thought that one up just for you guys! You’re welcome.)

But my mood does not, for once, match the weather.  I feel good, I’m positive, and my neck is currently only causing me mild agony. (That will change after an hour or so at the desk, but I’m taking the good while I can.)

Last night was monthly grocery shopping night, in preparation for DH’s mom’s annual visit, so the house is chock-full of healthy food.  That always makes me feel stronger and more motivated.  I feel thin today – I’ve felt that way all week, and I have no idea why, but I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth because that motivates me, too.  I am still terrifyingly swamped at work, but I’m slowly making progress and I have a whole three-day weekend in which to clear out the inbox.  (Yeah, how crazy am I that I’m looking forward to working on a holiday weekend?  Dedication, my friends.  That’s why they pay me the big bucks.  Hah.)  I woke up today next to this really amazing, wonderful, delightful man, with whom I evidently am lucky enough to get to spend, I don’t know, the rest of my life.  Oh, and also?  These two absolutely adorable, wonderful young ladies were inhabiting my house, and evidently they are also going to stick around for a long time.  What a morning.

No, I promise, I’m not on crack.  Just, you know, appreciating freshly how very blessed I am.  Which is very, very blessed.

So today I’m thankful for nothing in particular and everything in my life.  I could list another dozen things – my job, my great boss, my wonderful friends, the fact that my mother’s health is good and steadily improving, and on and on ad infinitum.   I’m thankful for all the good that the universe sends my way, and for the lessons I learn and the strength I gain from the bad.  (And I’m extremely thankful to be once again actively working toward getting my book published, thanks in no small part to the marvelous MizFit.)

And as always, I wish for you all a beautiful, blessed day, with many things for which to be thankful.  Have a wonderful day!
