Why I’m Thankful

8

WE’RE BACK BABY!! AC is fixed, on and cooling my hot and weary body as we speak!!! Ahhhh…sweet, sweet cold bliss :) I shut all the blinds and drapes in the entire house too, so I’m sitting here in my cold, dark, cave-like house, muwahahaha…

Gosh, did anyone else’s day just fly by? I swear to you, mine went by in the blink of an eye! As soon as I wrapped everything up at work, I drove straight to the gym and headed straight to the treadmill where I knocked out 4 miles in a little under 40 minutes. It.Was.Amazing. The run went by so quickly and my whole body felt so light – a contender for one of the best runs I’ve ever had!

After a short cool down, I came straight home, took a freezing cold shower and busted out an easy, cool and extremely satisfying dinner: Cold Pasta Salad with Grilled Corn.

Yep – it was leftovers, but it was absolutely delicious. Cold and light, with a ton of different textures and flavors!

Grilled corn might be my favorite summer food. The charred grill flavor mixed with the sweet corn is bliss :D

I continued the cool down with 2 chopped kiwi!

Gorgeous, right?

Gosh, the combo of a great workout, the cold AC & and a perfectly satisfying dinner has left me feeling absolutely GREAT. It also reminds me how thankful I am to have the ability to run, a home to cool and food to eat. There are so many people that don’t have these abilities and abundances – I absolutely appreciate everything I have!!

What are you thankful for?

In addition to being thankful for my physical health, a great home to live in and food to put on my table every night – I’m thankful for a wonderful husband who would do anything for me (and vis versa) a wonderful family, great friends and really everything I could ever want. Why am I so sentimental tonight??

Have a wonderful evening friends!!

    I’m so glad you got your AC fixed! My day flew by, too. It was crazy. Oooh great job on your run! That’s awesome :D Your pasta salad looks fantastic, too.

    I love your thankful list. I’m thankful that I have such a supportive and loving family, good healthcare and insurance, and that I’m in good health. I’m also thankful that my Mom will be with me tomorrow for my surgery, and will be there for me whenever I need her these next few days. I’m also thankful that I found this great blogging community! Everyone is so nice and supportive :D
