List 5 things I am thankful for everyday

I’m finding this one hard to keep up with on a daily basis. i think I’m using some other techniques to be mindful, which is what this “thing” was all about. it irks me to see it on my list and not be adding to it, so I’m going to “give up” on it for now. but I do still think it’s worth doing:)

(1) 10 hours of sleep
(2) a long weekend away to catch up with my sister
(3) a coatinig of snow on everything when I woke up this morning
(4) the mp3 player donated to me by my super-boyfriend that is helping me re-establish myself as a gym rat
(5) Fiber One cereal

(1) Nancy for making a super yummy, perfect for the coldest day of the year, vegan fun-lunch
(2) Laura for organizing the fun lunch scheme
(3) Mikaela for not letting me take myself too seriously
(4) Sam for being perpetually go with the flow
(5) Laura for consistenly speaking her mind and often simply saying what we’re all thinking
(6) Stef for being completely random and utterly heartfelt
(7) Trish for making me laugh with quirky email messages
(8) Linda for allowing us to operate in our distinctively casual, overly opinionated way

(1) gummy chocolate pudding that becomes fabulous ice cream when frozen…with peanut butter swirls!
(2) fantastic conversation with a new partner family from Kenya
(3) a chiropractor who offers free hour-long consultations and first adjustments through employee appreciation weeks to local non-profits
(4) a boyfriend with significant interests of his own that allow me plenty of time to do my own thing
(5) sleeping soundly through the night, despite a geek-fest in the next room

(1) the interwebs
(2) birthday celebrations
(3) co-workers who indulge in completely random and often ludicrous lunchtime conversation (ticks vs. chiggers vs. scabies vs. fleas?!?)
(4) fridays

(1) long, warm baths and
(2) iced cranberry fizzy water drinks

(1) no work weekends
(2) rainy monday mornings

(1) deva premal

(3) getting to the point of joking with the train guy

(1) the ability to take the train to work
(2) yummy granola made by my sister, warmed, with bananas
(3) volunteers who put their heart and soul (and 8 hour days) into solving our IT troubles. thanks pete!
(4) the trimmer of the fir tree bough that I hit face-first when I’m not paying attention nearly every time I walk home from the train in the dark.
(5) a (pro) boyfriend who leaves the front door unlocked for me so I don’t have to fumble for my keys after a long day
(6) getting home at 5pm thanks to the “early” train, and having a whole free night ahead of me to do whatever I want
(7) a super, like-minded friend who is willing to transport my compost trash on a weekly basis
