Thankful Thrusday # 7

Hello, everyone! I know it's a bit late into the day, but are you ready to get thanful? Here we go!

1. My boyfriend. Back to the basics this week. When all is said and done this is one of the biggest blessings I have in my life. I live with an amazing partner without whom my life would be miserable and pitiful in comparison to what I have living by his side.
2. My job. It's been some mad couple of weeks, but I go home knowing it was towards something important and meaningful. Plus I love what I do and the people I work with, which makes my days so much more interesting. For the very first time in my life I am truly happy in the whole work department.
3. Lent. Even though I'm catholic I'm not really that religious. This year, however I decided to do Lent and give up something. Chocolate. I know! Forty days with no chocolate?? For now I'm keeping true to my resolution (even though I spent half my day next to an open box of Cadburys fingers!), not really because of religious purposes, but because I really need to stick to it and a challenge is a great way to get results (if you stick to it).
4. Disposable income. I trully appreciate the fact that I don't need to count pennies through the month. I pamper myself every workday with fresh toast and every now and then I lunch out. And to be able to do it in a carefree manner feels great!
5. Staying afloat and rising to the challenge. This week I had a lot on my plate and had several challenges and new responsibilities to deal with and I'm grateful I managed to stay on top of everything. It's been a steep learning curve, but I'm so proud of myself that it should be put in writing.
6. Porridge. Who knew I could be a cereal person? The fact of the matter is I love my morning porridge breakfast with banana and cinnamon. Yummy and filling for several hours. Perfect!
7. Having time to relax. The next several weekends are filled with good stuff. Friends over, pizza, shopping sprees, a falconry lesson, a trip to somewhere new and hopefully many memorable moments. So I'm taking this weekend to celebrate the fact that we can just sit back and relax. Just us.
