Days #103-110: Give me some space.

Life has gotten the best of me lately. I have been so bogged down with everything non-blog related. But i am so thankful to be in my room. i'm thankful to have my own space. i'm thankful that i have a place to call my own. i'm thankful to have quiet time truly to myself.

Days #97-102

Day #102: Bus Drivers

Ever since I've started taking the shuttle to class, I've grown extremely thankful for the drivers. Most of them are really friendly and are there to safely transport people. i'm thankful for that.

Day #101: Innocence of Animals.

Everyone has something that comforts them. I think for my dog, Ringo it's shoes, specifically my mom's. I found Ringo sitting in his house this weekend and look what was with him.

He does it all out of love. and i'm thankful for his innocence.

ay #100: Time in the car.

Saturday, my whole family ventured down to Peachtree City. Nowadays it's rare that all four of us are in a car together. Someone usually has to drive separately for some reason. But, all four of us where together on Saturday. I love my family's different personalities. I love seeing them interact. I'm thankful for the time I spent with my family in the car this weekend.

Day #99: Movies that make you cry.

I'm sure almost everyone has cried during a movie. I won't say that The Last Song was the best movie I've ever seen (far from that), but it sure did give me a good cry. Sometimes I think we all just need a good cry. A movie is a good way to trigger that! I'm thankful there are movies that cause tears. I'm thankful there are movies that make you put your life into perspective.

Day #98: Showers

I got the opportunity to run with my sweet music therapy friend Sarah. It was absolutely wonderful, and we had great conversation! Only down part was that it felt like it was 100 degrees outside...at 7:30 at night. We were just a little sweaty when we finished (that's a joke).

When I got back, I jumped in the shower and rinsed off all the nastiness. I HATE sitting in sweat. I do not like it AT ALL. But i'm thankful for showers. Thankful that I can cleanse my body after I run.

Day #97:Luna Bars

Luna Bars have been a big part in my life lately. They are so tasty and provide a lot of nutrition. If I eat one for breakfast, it fills me up till lunch! They're absolutely great. Whoever invented meal bars, thank you!

I'm thankful that when I'm in class, I don't have to worry about feeling hungry. I'm thankful that I can focus on the lecture/lesson and not on how hungry I am.

Days #89-96: Structure

ok here is my attempt at consistency. class has started and now i'm back in a routine! let the daily blogging commence!!! (hopefully)

Since class has started (yesterday), I am so thankful for having structure in my life again. I love looking at my calendar and writing in it. I am thankful for structure.

i'm also extremely thankful for my wonderful roomies!! i have had so much fun so far, and it's only been 4 days!! woohoo!!

Days #80-88:Healthy

i keep telling myself i'll be consistent. can you tell i'm a procrastinator?

well today i'm extremely thankful for how my body has been feeling lately. this week marks a year since i went through a horrible time in my life. i was so sick, in bed, not eating, and unhealthy. i'm so happy i can say i'm feeling good. it's also been roughly a year since i was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. i couldn't help to be happy when i heard my gi tell me today at my check-up that he was proud of me. proud of me for taking care of my body and handling situations the way they needed to be handled.

i'm thankful i've been brought through the pain to feel healthy.

here's hoping to a flare-free school year...

Days#58-79: Water

i've been absent for so long now, but i've been having so much fun this summer, so that's okay. as i sit here typing this, i'm sweaty and hot from running this morning. i have tried so hard to be consistent and run every day, but it hasn't worked. today- i'm making a goal to run at least every other day, if not every day. Wills park is such a fun place to run for me. i like it because i feel free and because i can breathe in fresh air.

today, my motivation to finish my run was water. i was so thirsty when i got finish that i almost gulped my whole water bottle down in about a minute. but, i'm thankful for water. thankful for the clean, purified water. thankful that clean water is convenient. but also inside me, i worry for the people who don't have clean water. and because of how fortunate i am to have clean water, i'm so thankful for it.

i'm proud of myself for mostly only drinking water. no caffeine, no carbonation. it makes my stomach feel a lot better.

hopefully i'll be more consistent with this silly blog.
