Keeping it Real

We are heading off for a week on Monday, to spend some time at what we now coin our ‘home in the north’. It’s only about two hours from here, but it’s north to us. As it turns out, it looks like we are going to have some amazing weather, which means I suspect we’ll spend some time walking through the woods around the lake we will be at. It’s going to be one fun week, and what a great way to spend the celebration of our ten year anniversary.

I love that we are both spending more time being active, and how we are both wanting to add exercise as part of our ‘family’ activities. We’ve been spending time on the elliptical, and I suspect that it won’t be long before we’re both doing regular kettle bell work outs together. Right now, I’m just getting stasrted on them myself, but looking forward to seeing the transformation that I know is happening, even though I can’t see it. I feel it.

I have one body, and one life- it’s time to make sure I keep it as healthy as possible.

Friday’s Bits of Gratitude

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 12:27 pm

Every day I post five things I’m grateful for on Facebook. It’s something I do for myself, as a reminder that no matter what I’m going through- the highs or lows- there is always something to be grateful for. ALWAYS.

I really don’t think about them touching other people, but occasionally someone will say something about how much it blesses them. Today was one of those days- the idea that I could inspire someone else to look at their own life and see things to be grateful for, makes me happy. It gives me joy, and makes my already very rich life, even richer, which is a huge bundle of gratitude within itself.

Today’s bits of gratitude.

1- A morning catch up with my favorite (and only) brother.

2- Coffee in bed from my favorite guy.

3- The importance of ‘really’ listening.

4- Home alone night.

5- Cuddling up under a quilt made with love by one of my favoritei people on the planet.
