#Gratituesday

{It's been...tough around here lately. No need to go into the details, since it has nothing to do with either food or fitness, though it has indeed been enough to temporarily derail my ability to "laugh my way to healthy." I know I'll laugh again, and I'll return to my role as the somewhat annoyingly positive and motivational person I tend to be. But for now, I'll have to settle for riding out whatever this is - a sort of limbo, where I struggle to find a way to fill the lines of this post. Gratitude. Remember gratitude.}

1. A warm place to call home. It's small cozy, it's crooked got character, and it's got noisy neighbors on three sides. Home.

2. A chef's knife. It's a solid, heavy extension of a hand that's lost it's confidence. I may be stumbling to find my balance again, but I can still dice a mean onion. Comfort food indeed.

3. Donuts. (Speaking of comfort food). I finally used my donut pan yesterday to make these. Hey guys - guess what a donut pan does? Makes round, flat-ish cupcakes with holes in them. Problems solved helped.

4. My favorite salon/spa. So my toes, hair, and face can sparkle and shine, even through the dark times. Expecto spa-tronum.

5. Puns. Always grateful for puns.
