This is what color looks like When I look at pictures of tropical scenes during this time of the year, I am always amazed by the amount of color in them. I know this is because our Winter scenes here, although often beautiful, can be on the grayscale side of things. I've been feeling a little stressed out by life lately, so I thought I'd post a splash of color and remind myself about some things that I'm thankful for:
- My always early bouquet of flowers from Doug for Valentine's Day
- 5 years with the love of my life and planning our future together
- I have a tropical vacation to look forward to
- The best family and friends in the world
- I'm finally enjoying my job again even if it is a little overbooked
- I used my rewards points to get a little food processor
- I've discovered toasted walnut butter again and more (I heart you, food processor)
- Spinning class - you literally kick my butt/crotch, but I've grown me some hamstrings
The long Winter, the local political corruption and having a cold that makes me lose my voice off and on (when I'm completing 200 phone interviews at work!) have hurt my perspective on life a little. However, after watching a documentary on what Egypt alone had to go through and knowing what the Middle East and North Africa are currently enduring for freedom, I know I have never truly suffered in my entire life. I think it is important to remember what we are thankful for and also what we need and what we don't - but that's a post for another day.
