Thankful Thursday, whoops! On Friday.

This week, I am thankful for so many things, including:

* Improved communication, in general.

*Mother wisdom, better late than never, in knowing to cut out evening activities for my over-tired child.

* Parental generosity. Thank you to my Dad, for the gift of our CSA subscription.

* Loving friends. At church, in the neighborhood. And a bit further away.

* Employment.

* Coffee.

* Pinkberry.

* The happy surprise of leaning into a goal with enthusiasm and good spirits, with the result of fourteen pounds whittled away.

* The East Y.

* A fine school for my boy.

* The best most companionable dog.

In my room.

Eleven pounds down. Plenty more to go.

Happiness at the Lost & Found.

Lost: 9 pounds  (Loss of water retention and inflamation in largest part; the same thing I found during pregnancy upon pulling back from sugar and processed carbohydrates. Notice I do not say "quitting," rather pulling back. These seemingly genteel semantics really DO make a difference.)

Found: my phone charger. (It's been missing over a week, and I woke to find it next to my laptop and the onions my Mister ran out late last night to procure, along with cat food. A mystery, and a happy one, the reappearance of this charger.)




Still missing in action: a check (much needed,) and printer cartridges (purchased for a song months back and now needed.)

All I'm sayin' is....

Six pounds down.

This is about being really awake and alive and healthy.

That is all.
