Thankful Night 13 & Day 14

Yesterday, I was very thankful for Canada. Today, I am thankful for good wingmen 🙂

Thankful Day 12

Soccer.

Thankful Day 11

Tonight I am very thankful for a roommate that helped me clean up the tub of sugar I dumped on the floor while making cookies earlier. Yes, she laughed at me, but at least she had a broom in her hand while she was laughing.

Thankful Day 10

I’m thankful that I’m healthy enough to go to the gym, despite how much I hate going most of the time. I’ve decided to start training to run a 5k with some coworkers over the next 6 weeks, which is a little random since I’ve never been a runner. It took every ounce of motivation I had in me tonight to get me to the gym, but I’m glad I went, and hopefully I don’t die while attempting this 🙂

Thankful Day 9

Strange as this may sound, but I am actually thankful for the city of New Orleans today. Don’t get me wrong- I’m still ready to move. But I feel like I’ve learned a lot here, both professionally and personally, and I’ve actually had a little bit of fun. Living here hasn’t been as bad as I thought it might be, and while I’m still broke and miss my family like crazy, I feel like I’ve sort of made a very, very small New Orleans family to keep me company in the meantime.

Thankful Day 8

Today I am thankful for nights like last night.

Thankful Day 7

Today I am thankful for really good friends. And that tomorrow is Sunday, not Monday.

Thankful Day 6

I am thankful today is Friday.

Thankful Day 5

Today I am preemptively thankful for the sore muscles I will have tomorrow. My company has an intramural coed soccer team, and while I am beyond awful at soccer, I play when I can to show my support. I’m horrible. Absolutely horrible at it. But I go run around and try and get in the way of the other team and every now and then kick the ball and overall I actually have fun. Tonight was our second game of this season and we won, no thanks to me. But it was fun. As much as I hate working out, I love the sweaty, satisfied feeling I get afterwards. And while I have a blister on my foot and I can already tell my legs will be aching tomorrow,  I am thankful to work for a company that has such activities, and I’m thankful that I’m healthy enough to participate, even if I am out of shape and untalented.

Thankful Day 4

Today I am thankful for Dr. Pepper. I don’t really think I need to elaborate on that. It’s delicious and refreshing and what else do you need on a hot summer day?
