Dontcha just hate people who always have something to complain about? Well, I seem to have become that person. Going to try to exercise a great deal of self-control in only reporting on the POSITIVE things that are happening in my life.
I prepared my waters last night (fill eight 8-oz bottles from a gallon, to save on plastic disposal), so I can get off to a good start this morning.
Planning something VERY unusual for myself today - my best friend in CA and I (in VA) talk every Friday on the phone for about an hour. We've decided that today, while we're talking, we will be WALKING. It will be the first time this year that I've actually purposefully walked (when it didn't involve grocery shopping).
I'm thankful that the weather has been sunny for the past 3-4 days, and that there is NO RAIN in the forecast for at least the next ten days. I do much better when the weather is welcoming. It will be 45 for my walk today, which is perfect for me, since I overheat easily.
I'm thankful that I don't USUALLY have daily pain to have to contend with. A lot of people DO, and I'm glad that this neck pain (that I've had for four days now) is an anomaly and not the NORM for me. Also thankful that my knees have been much better this year than they were last year, and that I am better able to walk up and down stairs this year than I was last year.
I'm thankful that we get to have filet Mignon (from BJ's) tonight for dinner. I just prepared them for marinating, and they seem like they will be very tender cuts. I'm looking forward to enjoying a 6-oz steak with half of a baked potato topped with cheddar cheese and some homemade ranch dressing. It's quite a lot of calories, but I know that in advance, and have all day to plan for the success of staying within my calorie range.
Ok, that's about all the thankfulness, joy and light I can muster for the time being. Hopefully, I can get back into the HABIT of gratefulness again, and become the positive person that I have every reason to be!
