Maybe with rain? 2) The glow in my sweetie’s eyes while we ate dinner last night. 3) Got back to the gym tonight and had fun experimenting with weight machines. Also did 20 minutes on the […]

Many of my coworkers on vacation will be back next week. A friend got a job offer. Enjoyed the three-day weekend (America’s Memorial Day, for non-North Americans). Got some longer walks in over the weekend. A husband who likes to cook.

This is one of those weeks where I’d rather be venting about the stressy stuff and not looking for things to be grateful for. But … that’s also part of why I do it, to focus on the good instead of the bad. 1) New CPAP mask arrived from cpap.com. 2) A friend asked […]

[A weekly exercise in gratitude.] 1) Had a good doc appt today, have new treatment plan for allergies & asthma. 2) The other day I had the mini-gym at work to myself, so I didn’t have to keep myself from singing along to my iPod while I was on the treadmill :) 3) The wonderful relaxation […]

A little exercise in gratitude… 1) The man of the house got his car window fixed today, after it was smashed yesterday… 2) …and the thieves only got away with maybe $15 worth of electronics.* 3) Got the deck cleaned up a bit last weekend. Tomorrow night I’ll be digging out more of the […]

Today I am thankful for… 1) Antihistimines and my inhaler. They help me enjoy spring and not feel like I’m sick all the time. 2) Sunshine. It is a nice change after the dark-by-4:30pm winter. 3) It appears that most of the garden survived the winter. 4) Going for a walk on a stressful day…yes, […]

[…]

Obviously I’m on the west coast since it’s still Thursday here ;) 1) Time with my sweetie. 2) Have a new “exercise ball” to sit on at my desk at the office, paid for by work. No arms, so “arms digging into my hips and thighs” problem with the standard office chairs goes away. Plus […]

1) I’ve got a day off! Whee, I get to play! :) 2) Knee is reminding me to walk daily in addition to other exercises. [….this is the silver lining within the cloud of “Argh, I can’t take a day (or two or five) off?”] 3) Knee is not hurting badly and I can walk with only […]

My knee doesn’t really hate me anymore. It’s just occasionally crotchety. New shirt from Ulla Popken arrived and fits nicely. Sunny days lasting til 7pm seems to be counteracting my SAD a bit. Taking time to stretch. A weekend with nothing scheduled and nowhere I had to be. :)

[A little exercise in gratitude and appreciating my body.] Knee is getting better (I was walking without pain for most of Wednesday! I took no ibuprofen today!) in part due to … Walking, leg lifts, “chair squats”, and other exercises from physical therapy, and … Stretching, and … Having a job and life where I […]

5 things I’m grateful for today :) Seattle Snow. “Seattle Snow”, to my mind, is short-lived, scant, and doesn’t interfere much with daily life. It’s a fun surprise to wake up to and is gone by afternoon. Today’s snow looks to be in this category. :) Icepacks. I just finished icing my knee, and my, the […]

Heidi‘s gratitude postings got me thinking of posting things I’m grateful, or thankful, for in my life. So here’s a few: Got myself psyched up and joined a gym, which gives me more options for building up muscles. Gym salesperson did not push the weight-loss routine. Monday’s snow was pretty, but didn’t bring Seattle […]
