What do you have to give thanks for today

WovenGalaxy · Aug 22, 2023 at 02:17 PM

Coffee, spaghetti and a meatball, things I can control, self awareness, seeing my mom, kindness.

My sister who keeps in contact and lets me know how the estate is doing.

Also very thankful the house sold today. The money is in the bank.

Woven, I also give thanks for coffee. 😀 Ice coffee now in the afternoon, because of these high temperatures.

I also love pasta in general and meatballs.
Have you ever eaten pasta with pesto sauce? I make this sauce. I can keep it for 2 weeks in the fridge and it’s delicious with the pasta. Yummy! 😍

Yaaaaas, iced coffee all the way for me, too. I tried pumpkin spice flavor today and it didn't do anything for me. At least I know though.

I'm thinking about brewing some black and green iced tea some days, instead of coffee. It would be cheaper (I go out for my coffee) and healthier (I like my coffee sweet and milky, I like my tea plain).

I like pesto! I haven't had it in a long time though.

But I thank infinitely for having the mind I have, the ability of reasoning and being able to choose.
Just at this point in time, having this ability we have and many times take for granted, it’s not only what encourage me because of the enormous curiosity I have for learning but also because is a stairway to freedom.
I can’t be thank enough and I just now think of these people who have alzheimer. I feel a lot of compassion for them.

That is a great attribute and you are lucky to recognize it in yourself!

I have to admit that for me milk adds a plus to my coffee. I drink a lot of milk.
You know, what happens with tea, it stains teeth much more than coffee. At least, this is what I noticed it.

Thank you. I think this commentary could have been written by you, too. ;-)

Today I am thankful for a chance meeting with a stranger who was kind and encouraged me when I was struggling on my run this morning. It really helped me.

WovenGalaxy · Aug 23, 2023 at 02:05 PM

I found a nice instrumental guitar mix on spotify and am enjoying it.

AzulOscuro · Aug 24, 2023 at 07:34 AM

Music lifts spirits 😀

You rock, girl 😀
Very well for you, doing physical exercise. I’d wish I had your determination. 👏👏👏

Today I am thankful I have the day off. I get to spend it doing a few errands while having my little beagle accompany me.

My daughter introduced me to Spotify and I run religiously to it. No Spotify = No run.

I love Spotify.

I used to run when my knees allowed. I also couldn't get myself to do it without music.

Have a good day off!

A beagle! What a cutie! 😍

Enjoy your day off. 😀

I’m thankful for having this forum so I can talk with others about common stuff in a cordial way. Without hackers, trolls or haters who spread the online world too much.

Cool to hear. Don't give up running just yet. I have arthritis in my knees. My doctor has me on an anti-inflammatory (Diclofenac) and I take Tylenol. Those medicines and a Cho-Pat have made a world of difference. I'm old but I'm fighting it. HE! HE!

Also, I have a mile race tomorrow evening then a 10-Mile on Saturday morning. You can bet I'll be rocking some Spotify. This is one of my favorite weekends of the year.

Thanks. She's a Sweetie. We got her from the Humane Society a few years ago. The second I saw her I knew she was going to come home with us.

Woven, you can always walk instead of running. And I’m telling it to myself, too because I’m such a lazy butt. 😂
