Another Thankful Thursday round up time. It’s probably my favourite post of the week- it’s easy since we have a lot of blessings to count. And it’s lovely to think about them…This week it’s all about simple everyday joys.
Here goes:
Date Night with my love
Since my son was away at a school retreat (read about it here), it was a great time for my husband and I to have a nice dinner out on a weekday, close to home…
We walked a leisurely 7 minute walk on a warm evening, had some pizza and wine followed by a “Strawberry Tiramisu”, and walk back in the crickets inkiness of a perfect night…
And thankfully not get sprayed by a skunk we encountered on our walk!
Morning Coffee in the backyard
This is usual all summer. But I am thankful for all the warm beautiful mornings we are having. Which means sitting outside for the first cup of coffee and enjoying the freshness of the morning is quite the treat…I will take as many of these jacket-free days as I can get with a big smile on my face 🙂
Ice Cream with the Family 🙂
See above for the report on warm September days.
Which means, Saturday evening post-dinner ice-cream walks with the family are a must…right?
And it helps that Delight, our local ice-cream store has one of the best I’ve ever had…their Ontario Strawberry ice-cream (that I’m holding in this photo), is OH SO YUM!!
For Good Books
If you read my review for “Dresser for Hamlet” in yesterday’s post, you would know that I read this book after finding it in a Little Free Library.
It was a great read- the deep connection of the author to the words of Shakespeare and how it gave meaning to his entire life when the going was hard…and now he uses the magic of those words to make lives of seniors easier and more joyful…I am happy I found this book.
For my Whey Protein
Ok, this may sound pretty random in this list.
BUT.
I am a vegetarian.
I have ambitions of having a good strong layer of muscle on my body aka body armor.
Not sure how I would do it without a good dose of some of this amazing whey protein. It helps that since I consume so much of this stuff, that I love the chocolate flavor!
And unlike other brands I have tried, this one doesn’t make my stomach hurt…
So thankful I have this in my life- both in terms of good quality, and having the resource and the knowledge to put it to good use.
