13 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

This morning was busy. Not so much this afternoon, because this morning was busy. I just got up to stretch my legs and had a hard time walking. I need to move a bit more and get the stiffness out of my joints.
So, what am I thankful for today?
I'm thankful I got up at 1:30 this morning. I know that's early. I went to bed at 7 last night. So, I still had a normal night's sleep for me.
I'm thankful I got to the pool this morning. If the weather holds true, I will get there again tomorrow, and might be the last day this week as the weather is turning nasty. They're talking rain before the snow on Thursday. In either case, it will be too wet to drive anywhere at 5 AM.
I'm glad I worked out in the fitness center this morning on the Nu-Step bike. I had trouble with it this morning. I don't know how to adjust it, but I still got fifteen minutes or three miles in on the bike.
I'm thankful for the time on the bike in the community room here this morning during exercise group. I put another six miles on the bike, for a total this morning of nine miles.
I'm thankful I know the results of the MRI. They might not be the best results, but I know how bad my back is and why I'm in so much pain with it even when I don't have a compression fracture.
I'm thankful that with all the exercise, I made my step goal before noon today. My goal is 8000/day. Right now, I don't want to up the goal. That might be where it stays. I've heard that for elderly people, 8000 is good.
I'm thankful I have the notifications finished and spent some time with you in your world.
Okay, time to get my back on the massage/heating pad.
What are you thankful for today? The image belongs to me. What the large snowman looked like before it melted.

I am thankful that my appointment with my cardiologist went well since I am losing weight and the only concern is my thyroid problem which is being treated with medication.

Despite how time consuming it can be, I am thankful I got things I wanted done, and still managed to get my hair washed. I'm thankful that Chilly is doing quite well, he continues to surprise us daily. But, I love him. He gets his nails done tomorrow, which will be fun. Which is why we pay someone else to do it.

Glad you have a heating pad/massage to help your back. I know I use our heating pad quite a bit when I overdo it, especially at the beginning of the mowing season.
I am thankful that we were able to go to a joint service yesterday afternoon for a friend's ordination. Tim had preached at our church over the past several years when our pastor had called him. He became an interim pastor of a church at the end of summer last year and they voted 100% to take him on as their pastor. He wanted Sammy to be a part of his ordination so we moved our service to that church. Though I was out of my comfort zone, I am not a fan of being in big crowds (there were 3 church's involved in the service yesterday--where Tim had gone for decades, ours, and the church he will now be pastoring)

Those are good goals indeed Valerie. Slow and steady. That's early indeed. I'm thankful that the weather's warming up slowly but surely. I'm thankful I got my new phone on Friday afternoon to be back online after 5-6 days off. I'm thankful to be alive, well, and healthy.
