30 Days of Gratitude {Day4}

Today I am grateful for this

NOTE:

I wrote this last night, while I was still riding the adrenaline high from lifting and before I realized that by the time I actually posted this, I would be so sore, I might not be grateful!! 

I am grateful for my trainer, who always believes I am capable of more and who encourages me to try harder. And who always acts excited, when I get excited over my small accomplishments. I realize I am not {yet} lifting heavy amounts of weight, but I still get pretty pumped when I have gains! I'm always impressed with how much I've improved and I know that hidden somewhere under all my chub, are some muscles that are getting bigger and stronger every week. 

I am grateful to have a husband who supports this crazy lifestyle and only complains a little bit about how much I spend on fitness stuff. 

I am grateful to have a {fitness freak} daughter who is very supportive and doesn't make fun of me, when I text her from the gym, like a dork, telling her about my accomplishment. 

30 Days of Gratitude

I've decided to participate in 30 days of gratitude. I've decided that everyone living in my house will also be participating. 

Today I am grateful for this 

I am grateful that I am able to witness some outstanding sunrises, right from my own backyard! Sure my house is an old, falling apart farmhouse, but this makes up for that. 

And, if you ever forget to stop and enjoy these moments, just take your dog for a walk! Stella is all about stopping and smelling the roses, and the weeds, and the dirt, and the mole holes, and enjoying the beauty around her and eating deer poop!!! 

What are you grateful for???

I'm back... AGAIN!

Yes, it's been almost a year, since I posted anything on this bog, and for the year before that it was spotty at best. I kinda suck at this, I will always be an amateur blogger, at best!!! 

 Several things have happened this past few months, that have brought me back to the blog postings. It wasn't one specific thing, more a combination of things. The biggest change is that I've deleted my Facebook account!! Whoa!!! I know, that's crazy talk huh!! But I have given it a lot of thought, and weighed the pros & cons, and decided that the cons outweigh the pros and made the decision to delete. 

I've come to the conclusion that, I am a bit opinionated {there's a shocker} and it's not likely I'll EVER be capable of keeping my opinions to myself! I'm okay with others having opinions, just respect that mine may not be the same. 

And there has gotten to be far too much negativity and hate on Facebook.  

I will truly miss being able to see certain things/people on Facebook.

Now, if you are one of the rare few who for some strange, sadistic reason, enjoy reading the random things I have to say, I think I'll be posting here more often. 

If you are on Istagram, follow me and I'll follow you back so I can keep up with what's going on in your life too!!!!
