Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for the time to do more of what I enjoy doing.  Walking to the market, listening to podcasts or music, teaching yoga, meeting friends, drinking wine, reading.  So many things to be thankful for.  My intention is to create more.  Be it, writing here, teach more or put myself out there more.  I tend to hold myself accountable for five to seven days before slipping back into old patterns.  Less creativity, writing, content creation.  I realized Tuesday how little I had posted on this platform this year.  Forty-two entries.  Pathetic.

Where did 2023 go?  

I managed to go to one place that I have never been to before--Tulsa.  And Tom and I spent a few days in Wichita Falls and Amarillo.   Both trips were family oriented and fun.  I wish we had had more time to check out Tulsa.  We had one afternoon to explore the downtown area.  Holidays and weddings tend to demand your full attention and we experienced no different.  Next year, I hope to go abroad.  It has been too long since my last passport stamp.  2020 of March.  Barcelona.  It was a wonderful trip prior to the pandemic.  Looking back, I remember being aware of my surroundings and what I was forced to touch on the train.  I was not carrying hand sanitizer, but I washed my hands frequently.  What a time of the uncertainty.

Maybe Hawaii.  Or Mexico.  I know I will be spending my holiday in February in Tucson and maybe Rocky Point.  Shari and I are undecided if we have time to cross into Mexico.  There are many things to do in Tucson and the surrounding areas.  Sonoita, Bisbee, Tucson (itself).  Not to mention it will fall at the end of the college basketball season. I would love to watch the Wildcats play in their arena.  Like KU, they have a solid basketball program.  An amazing place to catch a game.

I am thankful for today and my health.  I picked up some kinesiology tape.  I need a little more rehab on my ankle.  It has improved, immensely since September, but I want to continue to strengthen it.  Regular checkups with the chiropractor is something I am thankful for as well.  The realignment of my spine was spectacular today.  I think he popped every vertebra, lol.  

What are you thankful for?  How do you plan on concluding your year?  Are you considering goals for 2024?  Maybe making small changes to create new habits?  

Take some time to contemplate it.  Think about making 2024 your best year yet!
