Thankful Thursday

Good morning! 

We are over the hump and the weekend is almost here.  For that, I am thankful.

I am also thankful for the extra sleep I had this morning.  I set my alarm time for 5 am so I could get to an early morning spin class, but failed to turn the alarm on.  So, I woke up fresh as a daisy at 6.

I am thankful that Dan helped me out by doing the dishes last night because I really, really did not want to do them.

I am thankful for Jolly Time, the popcorn company who sells certified non-GMO popcorn.  Until I found this, I thought my husband was going to ban popcorn from my life forever.  

I am thankful that I called my dad to talk about weekend babysitting arrangements after a few strange text message answers.  It was a good thing I did, because we were not on the same page at all.  Sometimes text messages aren’t better.

I am thankful that Ina FINALLY said, “No, thank you.”  Instead of, “NOOOOOO.”   I have tried so many times to get her to say “thank you” after “no."  Then, a few days ago, Dan asked me if I wanted something and I answered, “No, thank you.” and she repeated me 5 times. 

Dan and I acted like this was the biggest deal in the world, praising her and clapping, in the hopes that it would stick.  We shall see.  

I am thankful for the cooling temperatures and copious amounts of shade I had during my 8 PM run last night.  Yesterday was one of those days my run kept on getting pushed back, but it felt so good to get a few miles in before bed.  

I am thankful for my life - really every single aspect of it.  I am one incredibly blessed lady.  

What are you thankful for?
