Sunday Salutations,

Last night I did it. I got up around 4 am and turn on the central heating. It's officially cold.
 Now for anyone that knows me cold is pretty much anything under 70 degrees. Now I know I know that's not really cold. For most people. Me though, born and raised in Houston, Texas. I don't do cold. In fact, I'm still putting together my escape plan to move to the tropics. Some where nice and close to the equator.



As per usual with the weather turning cooler I have been wanting less and less to get out of bed in the morning. But once I turned that heater on. I was golden. It was just like old times when it was warm outside.

Adjusting to the seasons has become less and less of an issue as I've aged. With climate change and all of the issues happening within the environment, the weather is definitely changing. Moving up to North Texas made me realize this more than ever. Ice, snow, freezing temperatures are more than I signed up for but either way I am still here sticking it out.

This is perfect outdoor workout weather. With all the rain we experienced this weekend it was lovely to be outside without running the risk of getting caught in a down pour. So out I went for a quick 4 mile stroll. I've been working on increasing my movement and making sure that I hit my 10,000 steps a day which is much harder than I thought it would be. I have some wellness endeavors and I am super excited with the progress that I am making.

But excitement isn't everything. Now is the time to be grateful. To fine tune what desire to have come forth in my life.

So here's my quick list of gratitude.

Health
joy
a vehicle that runs well
a steady place of employment
a home
ability to be able to turn on the central heating/air
food to eat everyday
delightful, loving, and caring friends and family

What are you grateful for?
