The Little Things
April 12, 2012

Wow, this has been a crazy week. From a death I’ve been dealing with all week at work to a brief long weekend trip to my parents house for Easter, I’ve hardly had a moment to unpack and organize, much less post about anything health or fitness related. It’s even more fitting, then, that I take a little time to type up a few of the things I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for safety while driving. I drove for a little over 20 hours this weekend, and I’m thankful that I was safe!

I’m thankful that I read the entire Hunger Games series. Two weekends ago I read all 3 books in a 50 hour time period. More on that later. But seriously, the series was really good and I’m glad I finally got around to reading them! So fun… so addicting… so good.

I’m thankful for Easter. It gives me hope and joy.

I’m thankful for the people at my workplace.  Most of the time they are full of support, love, and encouragement. It’s a HUGE blessing, and I try to focus on how grateful I am for that every day as I leave work.

I’m thankful for food that my mom cooks. She’s a good cook. Given that I had a very busy week this week, my mom sent me back with enough left overs to cover most meals for my week. Isn’t that thoughtful? It’s been a huge help for me to just plop food on my plate while I’m on the go (and know that I’m getting a balanced meal). Making food for people in busy/crazy/____ (fill in the blank) times can definitely be helpful to that individual!

I’m thankful for sleep. I’m behind on sleep right now, and I miss it. I’m thankful for the opportunity to sleep and to feel rested.

I’m thankful that my shins are finally feeling much better and I can actually run again. REALLY thankful about this one. I’m being careful as I ease back into it, but I’m running twice a week now and am happy about it!

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today? When people in your life are going through a tough time, do you ever make meals for them?

    The Hunger Games was amazing! I’ve only read the first book so far, but I read most of it in one day and then went and saw the movie, soooo good!

    I’m thankful for being able to get together with my family for the holiday, safe travels, and some beautiful weather!

    I hear you on being thankful for the shins! I’m easing back into rhythm after some shin issues myself and I’ve become extremely thankful for every run/ workout/ day that health isn’t suffering.
