Thankful

Hello new readers! If you are new to the blog, please take a moment to read a little more about me — and feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed or Google Reader!

Today is one of my favorite days of the week — Thankful Thursday.

On Thursdays we take a few moments to reflect back on our weeks and recall the moments of gratitude. This can be as simple as the flowers starting to bloom or as MAJOR as a promotion, birth of a new baby, marriage, etc. Nothing is too small, cliche or silly. If something brightened your day, it’s worth noting. And sometimes all the little “nothings” add up to something really huge: happiness ;)

What were you thankful for this week?

I’ll start.

This week, I was thankful for:

The fact that I’m still alive after week 1, week 2 and week 3 of P90X

New-found motivation

My Vanilla Lip Smacker 

My growing list of books I want to read

Frappuccino Happy Hour

The Pioneer Woman (and her genius recipes)

That I’ll be in PUERTO RICO in just 2 MONTHS!

A reminder: Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. <— Quote brought to you by Oprah Winfrey. While she is quite a motivational/inspirational woman, she ruins the TV show Life. There, I said it (someone had to).

What are you thankful for this week?

    Totally agree – she ruined Life and I can’t watch it. I’m going to have to buy the British one.

    This week I am thankful that I have been able to do as much Yoga as I have and that I have the most wonderful man in the world.

    Yesss, thank you for reminding me of Happy Hour! TODAY is a fantastic day for some frappucino-awesomeness.

    I am grateful that my sister is coming to visit me this weekend, that temps should be in the 70′s and Keane has a new album out!
