Happy Things I’m Looking Forward to This Week

the weekly forecast of warm sunshine 

a haircut

the start of a new month!

a girls’ night with foodie friends

 running in my new kicks 

homemade pb snacking

cheery sunflowers on my kitchen table  

Yesterday was a bit of a bummer day; a nagging cold, with an almost empty box of DayQuil, didn’t help. Instead of starting the week with a Debbie Downer attitude, I decided I would spritz on my positive-thinking perfume today and remind myself of happy things that I am looking forward to this week.

– be grateful –

What are you looking forward to?

…in no particular order…

Running {more like jogging} a total of 10 miles last week. #injuryprogress

Post-run Almond Butter Banana Coconut Pancakes. 

An early Sunday supper of Creamy Broccoli White Bean Soup paired with crisp Old Chico wheat beer. 

Beating an ice cream craving with homemade trail mix {a.k.a. healthysELF challenge in action}.

Roommate bonding.

The cutest iPhone case ever. Must have. 

This read: The Now of CrossFit. 

Soft, coconut oil-conditioned locks. 

Sharing the LOVE for V.day.

Love may make the world spin round, but gratitude turns any day around. 

 

Have a positive Monday :)

Oh, Monday.

I could complain about you arriving so soon,

but rather,

I’ll look at the bright side; 

I’ll make it a Positive Monday

by remembering what I’m grateful for.

Today I’m grateful for 

being able to go for a 2-mile jog/walk in the beautiful weather yesterday (with minimal pain)

and giving my car a well-overdue bath in said sunshine.

Today I’m grateful for

the ability to nourish my body with healthy, wholesome food,

dark chocolate {gluten-free} brownies,

and tea, tea, and more tea.

Today I am grateful for 

clean sheets and peach candles,

and that I have the privilege to go to work today and earn a paycheck.

Today I’m grateful it’s Monday.
