thankful thursday #42

It's one of those Thursdays that, quite frankly, reminds me of the reason I started this whole exercise in gratitude in the first place.

It's a reminder that sometimes, a spirit of appreciation might not seem so easy to dig up ...

... that it takes a little more thought ...

... and that when you have to work a little harder for it ...

... you hope that the extra effort will stretch your capacity to feel grateful, and that thankfulness will be ever quicker to show its happy face.

I started back to the gym this week, after an intentional month-long haitus, post-Providence.

It's ugly.

My muscles are screaming at the mere thought of standing up out of a chair.

Really ugly.

Anyway, I'm rediscovering the awesomeness that is Advil!



So thankful that someone, one day long ago, decided that we could rein in the pain with little tablets of goodnessSweet, sweet relief.

When you stretch hard to feel thankful -- when you're just not feelin' it -- what comes to mind?  Go on, be grateful!
