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).
