The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts your perception to such an extent that it changes the world you see.

This week I am Thankful For:
...A/C!!! Its like summer decided to say, BAM! I'M HERE! It is so miserable & humid & hot & all the other words you can think of with summer. I went out to pick up Harvey Dent's toys yesterday in the back yard & that feeling of walking back in a home with AC.... aaahhhh... best feeling ever.
... my hair stylist. She's also my friend. I loved getting my hair done this time because there was no one else in the shop but me & her. I love when we can have some good talks. Her washing my hair & straightening it & that awesome feeling of having someone brush your hair? that's just an extra bonus.
... Seeing familiar faces this weekend.
... Gotta note it again - I'm so thankful for my space being 'boxed' in at work. I love not having all eyes on me all day long. My mood at work has boosted 1000%
... Winning a free entry to the Color Run! It's this weekend & I'm so glad I get to do it ... & not pay anything. I can't believe its $50 to do this 5k... a 5K PEOPLE! That's just nuts to me. I remember when it was $40 & it killed me to pay that. I do know they are giving medals this time around, which is cool... but still. Ouch!
... Cheap reading glasses. I spent $275 just a few weeks ago to get glasses. Couldn't see out of them. Went back & got re-tested. They made the glasses STRONGER. What? I REALLY can't see out of them now. They are like sitting in a fish bowl. Needless to say, they're sitting in their case & I'm still sporting $10.00 reading glasses... that I can see out of.
... Getting to have fun & hang out with the youth kiddos at Operation Unicorn this past Friday. I have been to more "lock ins" as an adult then I ever did as an actual youth. #youthministrybonus
... still thankful to see Ricky serving in youth ministry. I love to see him stepping out & doing something out of the box for him.
... support from friends doing the 21 Day Fix. I love getting texts & messages on FB & comments in Instagram about how its going. & I love getting food ideas from other people on all the social media tools. I found an AWESOME dessert on Instagram that was so easy, low in calories, & made my whole week! If you want to know how my 21 Day Fix has been going, you can check right HERE - I'll be doing a recap on this blog at the end of it all as well.
What are you Thankful For this week?
I love seeing your 21 day fix posts and even more can't wait for the full recap! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah! Love free runs! $50 is crazy! Not for a 5K (unless it's benefiting something)! We are doing a fun run this weekend too :) It was $20 - still more than I would want to pay, but I'll take it ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that quote at the top! Such truth!
Most 5Ks around here are in the 40-45 range. The more specialized ones like the color run tend to go towards $60.
ReplyDeleteThe other day a student asked me how much my glasses were. I told him about $300. He said that's how much his were, too. They're ridiculously overpriced. No doubt.
I've done more lock-ins as an adult too. I never really belonged to a youth group as a kid. We went to a fairly small church and I guess my age group never really had a youth leader. So I never did any as a kid, but hubby was a youth minister in our first years of marriage and we did lots of lock-ins and lots of youth things. We had some pretty good times and now a couple of those youth are in full-time ministry. That's so cool to see what they do as they grow up.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for AC too...I wish the nice 'spring' weather would last longer! 70's and sunny (not humid) seems to only last for a few days around here :-/
ReplyDeleteOh, good heavens, YES!!! to the A/C. I mentioned that in my list, too.
ReplyDeleteMy fave thing about going to the hair dresser (which I haven't been to in a couple years) is getting my hair washed and they do that little massage thing....I don't ever want it to stop!
ReplyDeleteI got a free entry to that race too!! But I gave it away. One Color Run was enough for me. Hope you have fun!!
a/c is the best invention. i'm heading to the salon today! yay!
ReplyDeleteI was just about to ask about the 21 day fix. heading to check it out now! and praise Jesus for a/c!
