Patricia in NYC, validation, moving

1. I am very thankful for one of the posters here, Patricia in NYC. There aren't very many people who come to this blog, but she has come back time and time again. I didn't start this blog to get the most hits or to have many followers; I started it as a reminder to myself that I have TONS AND TONS to be so incredibly grateful for in my life. However, I still can't help but feel bummed that more people don't feel the same way, that it's important to remember that we have so much to give thanks for. So I am thankful for Patricia, for coming back and for "getting it". Now, if only she'd email me so I'd know how to get in touch with her....hmmmmm....lol ;)

2. There is a person at work who is so incredibly insecure, she is the "one-up ya" person. If you broke your arm, she broke her leg. If you won $10,000 n the lottery, she won $100,000, etc. Since this person started working at my office, it seemed I was the only one to notice this, however, now others are catching on, and actually coming to me and asking me, "what is wrong with them??? How insecure can they be??? They act like they know everything and that you don't know anything...". I am so thankful that my feelings have been validated and that it's not just me...lol.

3. Last night my left foot, ankle, and calf was completely swollen. I had no idea what it was about but I just assumed it was my body telling me that the burgers, fries, and shake I had for dinner was probably killing me slowly (probably???) and that it was time to heal myself with some good old fashioned "clean" food and moving around. I got up this morning, ditched my coffee for green tea, had steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, and then did 20 minutes of a workout tape to get my body moving. After that, I got ready for work, and while walking out the door to leave, I realized how much better I felt. I am grateful for the ability to move in my body, and I will never take that for granted again.

What are YOU thankful for?
