Thankful Thursday

Good morning!

No time for chit chat, there is so much to be thankful for today.

-I am thankful for my smoothie making assistant.  

She really likes to press the “blend” button, but I constantly need to remind her to wait until the lid is ON..  We narrowly miss disaster about 25 times per day.  

-I am thankful for free and effective workouts online.  Yesterday I did this sprint workout and then this arm burner.

I was whimpering during most of the arm burner, so you know if it s a good one.  

-I am thankful for Danielle sending me pictures of Ina during my work day.  

Yesterday I really needed a smile and this one more than did the trick.  

- I am thankful for leftovers.  On Wednesdays Ina spends the night at her grandparents’ house and I work, which means there is no time for dinner making and no one around to eat it.  

Thankfully, I had some leftover sautéed chicken, brown rice, and almond butter sauce.  I roasted some green beans from my CSA and dinner was served.  

- I am thankful for some down time.  Last night, for the first time since Ina was born (she is > 19 months old!) I read a fiction book.  

I have this problem of really getting into books and letting all my responsibilities slide (dishes, laundry, sleeping), so I am hoping I will be able to slowly make my way through this one.  

- I am thankful for Jesus and the continued grace I receive in my life.  My small group just finished reading the book of Job and now I think I have a better appreciation for having Him in my life.  I didn’t think I could become more thankful for such a thing, and now I don’t think I can either, but I look forward to trying.  

I hope you have an amazing day!
