Thankful Thursday

Hard to believe that yet another week has passed.  Here's what I'm thankful for this week::

My gym membership:: I know that this is hard to believe, but I really am grateful for it.  I've spent the last 4 evenings there as I've come to terms with the fact that it absolutely has to be my-home-away-from-home.

Thomas::  He is a dear-heart, even if he beams bemusedly at me while putting me thru my paces at the gym.  {I asked him today if there is some kind of super-secret torture school for personal trainers and he said, "no."  Whatever!  I totally don't believe him.  Nope.  Pretty sure that they're sworn to secrecy once they complete the program and he'd have to kill whomever finds out about it.} 

My body::  It's not perfect, but it's mine.  {Sometimes, having long legs is a nice advantage. Other times, not so much.  I'm just sayin'...}

Family::  I will be forever thankful to have the family that I do.  So supportive AND funny. Great combo!

Friends::  What would life be without great friends?  Boring!  That's what.  Truly blessed to have all of the friends that I do.  So happy to make new ones, too.

Humor:: I love to laugh.  Laughing's my favorite.

What about you?  What are you thankful for?  (Come on now, don't be shy.  You can leave a comment on my blog.  You know how much I love a comment.  And, you know you want to leave one.  Yes, I am shamelessly campaigning for your love and attention, even if I don't know you - introduce yourself.  I love making new friends.)

I too and SO thankful for my gym membership....I L♥ve that healthy routine! I also am very thankful for black & white cookies! I always wondered what these delicious wonders were when I heard them being mentioned on Seinfeld....I think they are a "East Coast" thing 'cause I never tried one until I moved to NYC...is it a cookie or a cake..or a convenient delicious cake/cookie? What ever they are they are incredible! Hmmmm...could the things I am thankful for be an oxymoron?

I am waffling, trying to decide if I'm going to do my elliptical tonight. I should, but I'm exhausted!

Hi! I enjoy leaving comments and long walks on the blog. My favorite childhood memory is when I would relax and reminisce. My favorite pastime is passing time and I always, always, always breathe and think stuff! My name is Cole…will you be my friend?

I am glad for laughter and blog friends too. And that my hubby wasn't flying the plane that went down.

I'm thankful for you as friend! I wish I loved the gym but I have a sinking feeling that the love is going to have to start soon.
