My weekend was busier than I intended, so this is a dual post! Saturday night I went to a farewell dinner for one of my friends. She is moving out of state and a mutual friend of ours wanted to have a goodbye dinner before she started her new chapter. Its a fairly new friendship, but we hit it off right away.
I am going to miss her. I thought of my friendships and reflected on how my friendships have changed. Having a group of women you can laugh with is such a blessing. I am grateful my friendships have evolved to be intentional consistent relationships. Life is too short to have interactions that are not meaningful. I don’t entertain relationships that are not consistent. I do not see the point. It is a boundary I am proud of and stand by.
What are you grateful for today?
Gratitude Day 3: Health
This is one of my favorite photos of myself (to the left). I feel it encompasses me on my healing/fitness journey or as I started referring to myself as Char 2.0. It’s Day 3 of Gratitude! How are you feeling sis?
Are you hanging in there?
Did you forget to write your gratitude?
No worries! The great thing about this event is if you miss a day just start when you remember.
I don’t chastise myself if I get busy and forget to work out. I look at my schedule and see when the next time I have available to spend in the gym. Last week I didn’t go to the gym, but I went for a walk and worked out at home. Our health is so important to our lives.
If we start feeling sick, even if it’s a cough we take action to feel better. Last night I slept awful. It’s a rarity for me, but I tossed and turned, stared at the wall, and played Tetris on my phone. I also scrolled through social media and the Victoria’s Secret website and contemplated buying Christmas gifts. Then at a quarter till one, I put my phone on the charger and was able to fall asleep.
Today I felt a little run down, so I tried my best to rest. Today I am grateful for my health. It’s one of those things we take advantage of. Most of us don’t think about our health unless we are sick.
I work at a hospital and most of the people I speak with are older than me, but some patients are my age dealing with diseases and health problems I cannot imagine dealing with.
Today, when I feel less than stellar, I am grateful for my health because it could always be worse.
I am grateful it is not and I am grateful for rest that allows me to feel better.
Tomorrow is Day 4! Join us as we spread gratitude….
remember you can always call your sister 🖤
