I skipped last week's gratitude post. Not because I had nothing for which to give thanks, but because I simply couldn't write. Occasionally I lose my ability to focus, which means writing becomes arduous...or impossible. Last week was one of those weeks. I suspect this week might be different, if for no other reason than I expect to get some much needed time out of doors!
And that brings me to my thanksgiving for today. I am sincerely thankful for a break in the cold weather. I really don't mind the low temperatures so much. In fact, I find the cold rather exhilarating...but the icy sidewalks prevent me from walking outside and when that luxury is taken away, my spirit suffers. I'm good for a few days, but it has been nearly 3 weeks since I've exercised in the fresh air. The monotony of indoor treadmills and bikes just doesn't provide the same sense of sanity.
Forecasters are predicting several warm days in a row...and I will certainly take advantage of any sunshine. But as of tonight, the sidewalks are free from ice and that's all I needed! I feel better already.
