Thankful Thursday {Link up #35}

Thankful Thursday

"Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude"
~Winnie The Pooh


This week I am thankful for:

... runs that helps me work out stress in a healthy way. 

... my new little canvas I got for my living room from TJ Maxx.  $7.99!  What a bargain!  I think this says it all, especially on Thankful Thursday



... seeing a baby bump picture from my friend in Colorado on Instagram.  I'm so excited for her & her husband & the new big sister!

... good books that you don't want to end.


... steamed broccoli with cheese.  Healthy food with a touch of happiness.

... I am down 18 lbs so far since starting the 21 Day fix!!!  (which is more like the 3 month fix so far)  I'm averaging about 1 lb a week, but that's what the doctor told me is best so I'm not complaining.  I know with my size it's not even something you can see a lot yet... but I'll get where I want to be.  Count on that!


... on the back end of that - I am thankful I got in a pair of shorts that at the beginning of summer, I couldn't even get close to buttoning.

... Harvey survived his grooming.  I so worry about that little trouble maker.

... going to a new church with friends... & seeing familiar faces while we were there!  That always makes it easier to be in a new place when you see people that you know.

... Finding little coffee shops around my work.  I'm making it a regular thing to stop on Friday's & celebrate the hard week of work.  & I like finding these cute little places & help in supporting local businesses.



What are you Thankful for this week?

  1. congrats on your weight loss and running your stress away. I'm trying to be better about taking my walks/runs instead of letting the stress eat me away (or more like feed my stress). love that canvas! what a great find! This week I'm thankful for Kindle time. I got to finish another good book this week! Trish - tales from trish
