Thankful Thursday is here again. This time I am completely winging it. I have not thought about what I am thankful for whatsoever. And that means I get to think on the spot…how lovely!

I am thankful for…

This quiet time

All my work is done. I am now catching up on tying up strings, cleaning up the studio, fixing and enhancing my website, and thinking about the next year and next projects. That is, I am mostly chilling with non-urgent work. And dreaming and cleaning. This is a great time because there is no time constraint. And I can start and stop when I feel like it. Lovely…

My Body

I am so very thankful to have a fully functional body that responds to good food and exercise. I love how I am getting stronger. I love waking up with energy and feeling good all day. I love how my flexibility is slowly increasing over time. I am thankful to have the knowledge to treat it well and get strong, and see the results every single day.

Leftovers

I think I cooked and food-prepped a lot last week and over the weekend. Which means I don’t really have to make much all this week! What a gift of time, right? So instead of doing that in the kitchen, I can read more in the evenings, or catch up on making the non-urgent stuff like stocking up on cookies or granolas, or experimenting with turning bananas that won’t ripen into banana fries!! Yup I did that last night, and did not take a photo 🙁 

For Friends and Quality Time with them

Another thing I did not take a photo of is my time with my friends on Saturday when we had a girls’ day at a spa- hanging out in various saunas and pools, and the steam room. Catching up over a lazy lunch. The Go Place was lovely for being super lazy! Being silly, and giggling and just chilling with friends was a gift of a day with some lovely people…what is not to be thankful about, right?

My Thursday Afternoon Date with myself

I have a massage appointment and a haircut appointment today afternoon. And about an hour in between to browse a neighbourhood bookstore, and maybe catch up on my book with a cup of coffee. A perfect mini date with myself with a lot of indulgence. And all within a 10 minute walk from my home in the lovely area of the Junction. I am looking forward to this time. And I am so thankful to have the resources to pay for these services, and to have them available so close to home. I think today will be a great day 🙂

And I am surprised I was able to come up with a great list on the fly!

See, there is always something to be thankful for…what does your list look like?
