Do you know what that means??? It’s almost time for the holidays! Hooray!
Check out the caption on the calendar above… I think it may have subconsciously inspired a mini-Thanksgiving moment for me this morning.
After my workout, I left the iPod on the kitchen table and took Sadie on her morning walk sans-music. I do this on occasion to take time to myself and not feel inundated with beats from the Black Eyed Peas or Ace of Base (yes, I said Ace of Base… my iPod has a wide selection of songs).
As we were walking a myriad of thoughts crossed my mind and I began feeling so thankful for the simple things in life like the ability to be able to wake up in the morning in a safe apartment, workout and take my dog for a walk around a gorgeous lake. Seeing the sun shine over the water and watching the ducks and swans paddle around searching for food is a wonderful, calming way to begin any morning.
While these peaceful thoughts were running through my mind, a bike cop that I see almost daily called out to me and said, “That’s one lucky dog! She gets a walk every day.” I laughed and smiled because I was just thinking about what a lucky person I am for having the ability to walk my dog, who I feel fortunate to share my mornings with each day.
What are YOU thankful for today?
Breakfast
I’m not lying when I say that I was thinking “Bagel! Bagel! Bagel!” during my spinning class today… how pathetic is that!? Whatever gets me through my workout, I guess!
Believe it or not, a bagel is what I ate this mornin’ as my Thursday breakfast.
I jazzed my sweet wheat Alternative Bagel up a bit with some peanut butter…
…before topping it freshly sliced strawberries and honey roasted sunflower seeds.
I also brewed a hot cup of Kalahari ChocoLatte hazelnut mocha tea to drink on the side.
Breakfast was g-o-o-d.

Hey Mama! I get them at Publix, but they’re not with the other bagels… they’re by the bakery section. 🙂 Love you!
