Today was a good day.
I'm thankful for getting up early and getting everything done on the computer before I took my nap.
I'm thankful for taking a nap. I needed it with going out with my sister and brother tonight.
I'm thankful I got all my steps. I finished them when I got home. Here are today's stats.
Walking: 66 Minutes, 6801+ steps, 1.29 Miles, 276 Calories Burned
Bike: 22.57 Minutes, 5 Miles, 126 Calories Burned, Speed 13 MPH
Food
Calories - 1140.5
Grand Total - 738
Considering I ate out tonight, I think I did very well. I had Fish and Chips - Baked Atlantic Cod - breaded, French Fries, and a cucumber salad. I needed to look up the calories online and found it very reasonable. I did my best to stick with my diet.
I'm thankful for the time spent with my sister and brother and their spouses. We had a good time at the restaurant. My son and his girlfriend were also there and to my surprise, my son paid for my dinner. I told him I would pay for him and his girlfriend because I needed him to pick me up to get me there. That was an unexpected blessing.
I'm thankful for the Sistine Chapel Exhibit. It was fabulous and that's an understatement. I got pictures of the entire exhibit including the information about each picture and learned how to use the video on my phone. Above you will see the most iconic of the paintings from the Sistine Chapel.
There you have my day. It was wonderful. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me from the Michelangelo exhibit.

I'm thankful for the time spent with my son and granddaughters these past few days before heading home tomorrow. Thankful for waking early and watching all the geese landing on the snow while dawn breaks. Thankful for keeping my food intake fairly normal but indulged in fish and chips for lunch. Thankful my girlfriend's leg is healing better and she is getting stronger.

@noni1959 I'm glad you'll stay in the country. If I could have, that's where I would love to live. My parents lived on a farm for two years, rented, and I loved it. I loved the wide-openness of it. Neighbors not breathing down your neck because their home was right next door. As much as I like where I'm at right now, if given the opportunity to move to the country, I would be packed and ready to leave in a heartbeat, or two. I'm not as young as I used to be.

You have wonderful things to be thankful for. Spending time with your family is awesome. I'm glad you could do that. You will have many new memories and I'm sure pictures to remember those days. Nature always excites me. Seeing geese land at dawn would be amazing. I'm glad you could keep your food intake under control.
Wonderful news about your girlfriend's leg. I'm glad she's getting stronger as it heals.

I keep fluctuate between feeling very proud that I have completed this and that task in my 'MUST DO' list, then the next few hours, I will feel bad and a bit overwhelmed, since the list is still too long, and the day only has 24 hours, and the most important thing is, I feel too lazy to do anything hahahah...

@YrNemo Shorten your must-do list. Then it won't feel so overwhelming. Sometimes we accomplish more when we make our must-dos more reasonable. Put the priorities on the top and put a can wait on the less important things. If you can get to those, you can pat yourself on the back and feel proud instead of overwhelmed.

Wow it sounds like you had a really good day. I am happy for you. And naps are always good. I am thankful for a lot today, but right now mostly for my husband and sweet rescue dog.

I know. It's one reason why I started this thankful post several years ago. To show people there is a lot more to be thankful for than they realize. It worked and people asked me to continue this.
I'm glad you're thankful to be thankful.
