Happy almost Friday! Just attempting some consistency and my weekly thankfuls recap again (week 1 here). What has you feeling warm fuzzy thankfulness?
November 6th:
26. the big truck in front of me on the way to work this morning that stirred up a magical trail of leaves to flutter in front of me all the way to Hinds
27. technology like myfitnesspal and pedometer apps that make making healthier choices seem less overwhelming
28. project starfish
29. 105.1's 24/7 Christmas music
30. realizing in my blogging absence somehow my page views crossed the 200,000 mark (WHAT?!).
November 7th:
31. gold glitter pointy toe flats that cost $9
32. crisp air
33. that I live in the real life version of Stars' Hollow
34. the ability to fight lies
35. a cozy bed
November 8th:
36. new dangly earrings
37. NEW FLOORS
38. house groceries being finished until after thanksgiving
39. cutest picture with Hazel Taylor ever
40. Harry Potter themed birthday parties
November 9th:
41. how free I feel to weep on Sundays with my gospel family
42. that bath and body works makes candles that smell like hugging attractive men (mahogany teakwood, sparkling icicles, black tie, sweater weather, flannel, etc) AND that they are 2 for $22 right now
43. a roommate teamwork productive afternoon getting our house back together after renovations,
44. crockpots (and the best/easiest potato soup recipe ever)
45. God giving me a prayer inspired by the message today to pray through these not so easy grief days and holiday days of missing my dad. "I pray that I would stay in my pain and grief, standing in your glory, clinging to the faith and hope that you are better, instead of running to and back to temptations that entangle, numb, and hide the pain."
November 10th:
46. the cure for most ailments and aches being rest and the luxury of having a job that comes with sick time to partake of healing rest (made my back mad at me, no biggie, it's feeling better now)
47. clean sheets
48. dinner at the table
49. Tyler Florence (he is a beautiful man to watch cook)
50. planning holiday party/meal food offerings
November 11th:
51. new mercies
52. friends I can reach out to about ugly temptations who never judge but rise up to pray and fight with me
53. positive responses to a cheesy work thanksgiving brunch idea/email
54. an accountability group that's so life giving that even when I think I don't want to go or talk because I'm too emotional and having a heavy grief day, I still go because we love each other in our messes so much that I can talk and cry and they love and give and ask the right questions that make me feel loved and never judged
55. for the patience of amazing roommates who handle my moods and ocd tendencies way more graciously than I deserve!
Side note: I'm quite thankful that so many of my thankfuls are about the amazing people in my life. Today was an unexpectedly emotionally hard day grief day (that I'm actually also thankful for) and precisely the reason why I needed to establish a pattern of focusing on giving thanks for big things, small things, deep things, and silly things.
November 12th:
56. how beautiful Clinton Raymond road is on my drive to and from work
57. recipe creativity success
58. memories
59. that googling deskercise produced lots of ideas that have now left me a little sore
60. cvs clearance nail polish
