One thing I’m working on is being more optimistic, and happier in general. I’m trying to focus on whatever good stuff I can, which is sometimes a struggle. But I’ve decided to start a weekly post called ’5 Things’ – five things I’m looking forward to, that I’m grateful for, or whatever else happy and good that I can think of.
So here are my 5 things for this week: 5 Things I’m Looking Forward to This Week
- Getting back into my workout routine. I was sick last week and did practically nothing, so being able to get up and work out in the morning again will make my days so much nicer.
- The in-laws coming to visit. They’re coming down to see everyone before Alex leaves, and it’s always nice to have family visit, since we live so far away from everyone and can’t really travel ourselves.
- Going to WalMart. I know it seems silly, but we don’t have a car and it’s about 15 minutes drive to the city to get to one, so we don’t go often. But Alex’s parents always offer to take us to do errands when they visit, and I love WalMart more than I probably should.
- Finish handmade gifts. Mackenzie’s birthday is next week, and I’m trying to de-stash by making a lot of gifts. I’m working on her last handmade item now, then they’ll get blocked and finished and wrapped up for her, which are several tasks off my to-so list.
- Thanksgiving. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, so we’re doing a big meal and spending as much time together as we can before Alex leaves. Holidays are particularly special, because we don’t do a lot of fancy cooking generally, so the meals are out of the ordinary for us.
I hope you guys have lots of great things in store for your week, too!
