2 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Tweet

Happy Groundhog Day! Did the groundhog see his shadow? He did here and we're having six more weeks of winter. I wish that meant winter would be six weeks longer than usual as there are six weeks left until spring arrives on the calendar, not necessarily in reality. So, what am I thankful for today? I'm thankful I went to the pool this morning. I had a wonderful workout in the pool and hot tub. Those hot jets felt great against my back. I'm thankful for the workout I got getting my steps in the hallway this morning. I did manage to get my steps. It wasn't easy. I'm thankful I worked on Where Eagles Soar and Destination Love. Both are coming along well. I'll be publishing these two this year. I'm thankful for Canasta. We had a lot of fun. Two tables, one with three, one with four. I was with a table of four, so I had a partner. As usual, our team lost. It was fun though. I'm thankful I went shopping after the pool this morning. I almost couldn't buy my groceries. My insurance card didn't work, not that it didn't have funds on it, it did. I had just used it for a couple of items at Walgreens. So, I knew it worked. I tried my PayPal debit card. I don't know the pin, so it didn't go through either. Then I tried my FoodShare card. I didn't think the funds were on it yet. It worked and I came home with food enough to last most of the month. I'll only need a few things like fruit and nut milk. I like cashew and almond milk. I'm thankful I found my weight a lot lower than yesterday when I stepped on the scale at the YWCA. 204 on the nose. Not 209 as my scale showed yesterday. I think I need a new scale. Or just use the one at the Y. I'm thankful for Ibuprofen. I really needed it after Canasta today. I'm not supposed to bend or twist my back. But how am I to get dressed if I don't? So, my back was in a lot of pain this afternoon. It's also getting painful sitting here. So even though I still have way too many notifications. I'm going to call it quits for the night and put my massage pad to use. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow, so hopefully, I can get the notifications cleared out. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. You can see what's left of my snowman.
