What are you gratefull for today?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to live more in the moment and thought I would start a thread where we can share the things that keep us going down the road to health. I'm thinking it's a way we can record the blessings in our lives as it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle.

The aim here is to be discriptive and try to paint a vivid picture to really help connect with that moment or thing that your gratefull for.

Here we go, three things I'm gratfull for today:

1) Waking up 10mins before the alarm at 4:50am in the pitch black and feeling cold under the covers only to have my partner roll over and snuggle me and warm me up.

2) Driving to work along the windy country roads and for an hour and seeing another golden purple sunrise.

3) Having stiff sore lactic acid legs from a weekend of cycling and running. Seeing my fitness improve every day that I'm living 811.

Today I am grateful that my partner fully supports my adventure lifestyle and has made the transition to cooked vegan. Who knows what the future will bring.

This is a great post!

I am grateful that I am going to be able to visit my grandmother in her final moments and tell her that I will love her for always. That she lived a wonderful and fullfilling life. I treasure all of our moments together.

I am grateful that my family is all in good health and are so understanding of my fruitarianism.

Lastly, I am grateful for making it out of surgery twice!! ;)

I am grateful that, somewhere along the line, something woke me up and I started asking questions.

I am grateful that I woke up to smiling eyes and little hands and the beautiful song of "mama"...I'm grateful that I woke up without an alarm. I'm grateful for the little laughs and hugs and kisses I get all day, everyday. I'm grateful for the citrus picnic breakfast ritual with my daughters this morning. I'm grateful for the bananas and citrus for lunch and I'm grateful I didn't really have to prepare dinner, except for my yummy spinach-fruity salad. I'm grateful my daughters ate their salad cheerfully (after some encouragement)...I'm grateful for the plants we're nurturing.

I'm grateful for the beautiful nap I had today. I'm grateful for my daughter's curiosity about health and all the questions she asks. I'm grateful for the warmth and crisp breeze I felt outside. I'm grateful for the path I walked with my daughter's and the dirt we dug up. I'm grateful for the look on my youngest daughters face when she sees a dog, and how she tries to talk to them and motion them toward her. I'm grateful for the chamomile tea foot/hand soak I shared with my daughters before bed.

I'm grateful that I have enough fruit and veggies for tomorrow.
