Thanksgiving Eve is allegedly "the biggest drinking night of the year". I honestly had never heard this until this afternoon. Unfortunately, I have to open the gym tomorrow morning at 4:45am, so it certainly won't be my biggest drinking night of the year! I'm going to bypass that tradition, relax, take a luxurious shower, blow out my hair, paint my nails, and watch several episodes of Shameless.
I meant to write this post earlier this week, but I procrastinate everything so it's 5pm on Thanksgiving Eve and it's time for a little reflection. I'm linking back to Samantha Rose Says because I love her blog and I got this idea from her. :) Here are some of the many things I'm thankful for this year, this week, and this moment...
This year:
- Finally finding some clarity about what I'm going back to school for
- Many long weekend trips to Rhode Island, Cape Cod, and NYC
- Getting back into the groove of teaching dance classes
- My parents remaining in good health
- My poor, fat, old dog still loving going for walks with me
This week:
- Speaking with a super helpful admissions counselor over the phone!
- Deciding that a 3 year part-time grad school track is the BEST option for me financially and psychologically
- My two super intense workouts of this week and post-workout endorphins
- The new *premium* cool mint tea from Dunkin Donuts
- A phenomenal gym member bringing my coworkers and I a whole entire pie for Thanksgiving
This moment:
- Gray on gray sweatsuits
- L setting up the coffee machine for me for tomorrow
- Rearranged furniture that brings so much more ZEN to our space
- My Himalayan salt lamp (I don't think I'll ever get enough of this)
- My super sore, amazingly tight biceps
Now I feel like I should do this way more often.
I worked out hard the past two days in preparation to stuff my freakin' face tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
