Thursday Gratitude

[reasie]

Thought I'd put this out there early, in case I'm not feeling grateful tomorrow.  I am feeling pretty darn grateful today. Grateful and CUTE. Check out my adorable outfit! Goodwill, again. Hee. *twirl* I buy too many clothes. You can't tell in this picture, but my tights are purple, the exact shade of many of the wee flowers on the dress.


Today I am grateful for:

• Health! I can shower without fearing I will get my IV line wet. I can eat whatever I want. I can bike to work again. Normality returning on all fronts.
• This dress is a size 10. Yesterday I wore a dress I bought YEARS ago. I am back to a normal size for me. This makes me feel good about how I look.
• Pumpkin Spice Everything! Muffins! Cake! Tea! Ice cream! It is a great time of year for lovers of cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Gorgeous, sunny weather, but chilly enough at night that Brian wants to snuggle. :3
• So many lovely restaurants in my city. Particularly enjoying Coquette Patisserie right now because I bought this fruit compote there last week and just finished it off today. It tasted more mango than solid mango. I don’t know how they do that, but bravo!
• Working at the university has so many hidden perks - ample bike parking, the cheap tune-up I got from the cycling club, and non-cycling related things, too, like eating lunch on the Merging fountain outside Guildford House. (It is a fountain that has a dry stair-step half you can lounge about on while water flows down stair-steps on the other side.) The sound of running water is invaluable on a stressful day.
