7 Things I Am Especially Grateful For

…Mey here on Thanksgiving Day listening to the pitter pat of the rain outside my window after spending a day with family all over the island of Hawaii, blogging about 7 Things I Am Especially Grateful For…

…the great thing about Thanksgiving is that it brings family together in a time when we normally don’t see each other, and allows us to reflect on all that we are grateful for…

…and there is so much!

…in this post, I list 7 things that I’m especially grateful for…

1) Children

…children are joy and love, they run and play and they show us who we really are, our vulnerabilities, or love of friends and people, our excitement for fun…

…loving and being grateful for children lets us be grateful for all of us, for we are all children deep down inside…

…and we are all so lovable!

2) Garbage Trucks

…garbage trucks are cool aren’t they?

…the ones we have come up and they have these pick mechanical hands that reach out and pick up the bins…

…and they lift them up and dump them into their big back storage area…

…and all the kids in the school and my son just LOVE to run out and watch them…

…and they also have really friendly drivers who wave…

…finally, they help us take the trash to the facility where it can be properly disposed off…

…which, we all must admit is REALLY IMPORTANT…

…of course, included in this are also recycling trucks and green waste trucks, which really is the same truck of course…

…so much to be grateful for here…

3) Head Stands

…ok, I love head stands…

…I just started being able to do them this year…

…and I love doing them!

…it’s just so much fun to put your head down and lift your legs up and just be upside down…

…I like feeling balanced and fit and also excited about being able to finally do these cool moves…

…in yoga they tell us that doing an inversion everyday where our bottom of our body is higher than the top is good for us…

…we don’t have to do head stands to do inversion, but the headstands are so much fun!

…and I just feel cool doing them…

…seriously, doesn’t everyone just love head stands?

4) Running

…ok, I just love running…

…recently haven’t been running much since my right knee has been hurting…

…though it has made me even more grateful for my legs and body and being able to run!

…and I love running with my son, around in the park, laughing!

…I love running for miles and miles and just going out in nature and being outside…

…I just feel great during and after running…

…really enjoy the runner’s high…

…love how it keeps my body fit and healthy…

…watching others run is fun too!

5) Healthy Food (especially Brown rice)

…when I’m hungry I just love eating brown rice…

…I eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner…

…I had a dream once where I was asked to list my 10 favorite foods…

…my favorite food was actually Fuji Apples…

…however, brown rice was in the top 10…

…today I had some really yummy brown rice for Thanksgiving lunch and it was so crunchy and good…

…brown rice gives me energy, that lets me stay active all day…

…it’s easy to cook and relatively inexpensive…

…it allows for a slow burn of energy all day…

…and it just tastes so good!

…I’m so grateful for brown rice!

6) Fans

…fans are the bomb…

…I mean, who isn’t grateful for a fan when they are hot and need air!

…there were these super size industry strength fans in the airport ceiling today and Jordan and I loved watching them turn…

…they were so strong that the straps for the lines were vibrating…

…they keep us cool and they are cool to look at…

…we have fans all over our house on the ceiling…

…I remember when I used to live in Taiwan and sometimes it would get so hot, and a fan would feel so good!

…fans are one of the greatest inventions of mankind…

…and I am forever grateful for them!

7) Water (especially Warm Showers)

…so, of course, water comprises most of our body and is so important for our health…

…I’m grateful for water and being able to drink so much water everyday…

…on top of that, I’m especially grateful for warm showers!

…when I want to feel clean and relax, sometimes I go to the gym and just hang out in their shower, enjoying the warmth and the feel of the water…

…warm showers are just divine!

…some people love their baths and I love my showers!

…recently my 2 year old son Jordan too loves showers…

…he’ll shower with me and play with the water…

…we have one of those shower heads that you can move around with your hand…

…and so he likes to hold it and direct the water here and there…

…he just loves showers…

…I am so grateful for water and ESPECIALLY warm showers!
