3 Things, timed edition

Quick...I have to leave to pick up the kids from school in 10 minutes!

1.  The treadmill:  Enjoyed my walk today and read some spiritually uplifting magazine articles at the same time.  Great combo!



2.  Food:  Food is good, right?  Today I was thinking of hot cocoa and thinking of the health benefits (who knows if it is true) of cinnamon and honey and decided to make hot cocoa with honey as the sweetener, real milk, and cocoa powder.  Then, of course I added cinnamon.  Yummy combo!  It's cold outside and that really warmed me up.

3.  The SUN:  By far the best thing about today is that the sun is shining.  We had 3 days of intense fog, followed by a little blizzard, and then today it was cold, but the sun shined bright.  Boy, the sun sure helps my mood.  I loved it!

Thanks for your kind words when I was struggling yesterday over my friendship/social issues lately.  Like with most trials, I am and know I will be grateful for what it is teaching me and doing for me. I've struggled this year, but I think I've faced things down that I would have just ignored had I the distraction/help of a social support network.  Of course, I still know I want and need that but I've learned a lot about myself this year.  Anyway, gotta go!

  3. These would totally be my 3 things today too! I actually worked out hard today for the first time in a very long time. I love honey and cinnamon in my hot chocolate! So yummy! And my mother-in-law swears that it's medicinal. So also try it when you have a cold and it's supposed to help. And the sun definitely lifts my mood. I had the blinds pulled back and our living room was so bright today! It makes me so excited for warm weather!
