Gratitude Series: Sometimes, the bad days get the better of me. Other times, I get so caught up in my little world that I forget to give thanks for all of the blessings in my life. And sometimes you just need to write down the things you're grateful for to see all of your blessings. Though I admit that sometimes I find myself taking things for granted, I'm doing my best to be thankful for all of the good in my life. So, today, I’m choosing to give thanks for all of the things.
Boba Tea: A friend of mine made some homemade Boba tea, and it was delicious! I’ve always liked Boba, but don’t get to have it very often. And even less now with my dietary restrictions. However, now and then I get to have a treat. And Boba tea or coffee is at the top of my list.Time off: During winter break, I had 10 days off from work (including weekends) and it was marvelous! My house was clean, laundry was done, I was able to fit in some naps, and we had several sleepovers. My heart was happy and full. My home felt cozy and clean, and I enjoyed it being tidy. I felt like I had TIME. Time to enjoy my home, time to get everything done, and time to rest. Truly, I feel blessed.Waffles: During our Christmas break we were a bit lax with my dietary restrictions. I didn’t overdo it, because my body would definitely let me know that what I was consuming was probably not the best, but one of the things I enjoyed on Christmas day was WAFFLES. My husband made a full breakfast buffet, and it was all so delicious, but the waffles were just magical.Medicine: Our entire household came down with a pretty bad cold & congestion starting on Tuesday. It has been rough, and I’m still not fully recovered yet. But I’m grateful for medicine and nasal sprays (that work for more than an hour) because they have gotten me through the days/nights. While it’s never fun being sick, I’ve been able to manage this go around. This means I’ve been able to stay on top of everything that needs to be done, care for my family, and continue to work.Sleep: Thanks to the break, and oddly - being sick, I’ve been getting PLENTY of sleep. Whether it’s due to melatonin or my body just feeling tired, my bedtimes have been pretty early. I’ve also taken a little break from running due to all of the congestion so my afternoons have left me with a lot of downtime. The plan is to take it easy over the weekend, rest up, and then start everything fresh next week - hopefully feeling better.
And that wraps up my gratitude post for this month. What are you grateful for today? This week? This month? What do you do to help bring some positivity back into your day if it's been a bad one? How do you make sure to stay grounded? Do you have any fun things planned for January? Any goals or plans for the new year? Let me know below. Until the next post, I hope everyone has a charming weekend! Adios!
“My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation. God alone is my rock and salvation, my fortress; I shall never fall.”
