Hello there! It was the first day of a three-day weekend today—definitely something to feel gratitude for. I love three-day weekends. I find that they are just the perfect number of days to get everything you need done and rest. Day one can be for running errands. Day two can be for socialising, and day three can be for just chilling at home, gathering yourself, and mentally preparing for a new week.
Two Things to Be Grateful For
- Freedom! Haha! My son spent some time away so I had some alone time today. The thing about being a parent is that you never know how best to use it because you want to rest, but there are things that you want to do as well, and there is only so much time! Phew! It’s a thrill and can be exhausting!
- I bought an exercise bike today. It will probably only arrive next week but it is a step in the right direction. I used to own but I used to get so bored riding it. Watching TV is not really my thing so it didn’t help. I have learnt to keep my brain entertained by listening to podcasts audion books while i get some steps in at night so I am hoping it will work with cycling as well. I also plan to hop on it for 5-10 min at a time on the days when I work from home to give my eyes a break from the screen and to get my circulation going rather than being stuck behind a desk all day. This also fits in with my word for 2025, which is “Wellness”. As I have mentioned before, this was not my best health year so I am grateful that I still can remedy that.
One Moment of Joy
Nothing beats a weekend nap on the couch in front of the TV in my opinion. It just hits differently. So that was my moment of joy for today, that afternoon that I got to enjoy.
Thanks for popping by. What are you grateful for today? Let me know in the comments.
Bye for now
