Start as you mean to continue

It’s the end of the first day of a new vintage. If ever there’s a day when motivation levels are sky high and things are going to get done, it’s today.

As I’ve already posted something for today I’ll keep this brief. One of my goals towards finding balance was to restart my gratitude journal with 5 things I can be grateful for each day. No time like the present to get a wiggle on with that, so here goes:

Today I’m grateful for a truly spectacular snowy sunset. It was totally worth freezing my butt off to get a picture of it.

I’m grateful for spending a great evening with my family last night over a delicious dinner, even though we all fell asleep before the New Year 🙂 It’s what makes us special!

The Christmas tree came down and there was not a single decoration fatality this year so YAY! I also managed to Tetris it all back into the storage boxes exactly right so WIN!

I did a short drive today and feel pretty good so that’s huge progress for me. I’ve missed being able to drive myself around.

Tubby-time Skype with my crazy friend. We both lay in our respective tubs 6 time zones apart having a chat and a chortle. I can officially say our friendship has moved to a new level of nuts. While taking a swig out of my water bottle I got asked if I was sipping shampoo. This is probably how warning labels come into being… Mykal, never change dude. EVER! You rock!

Now I’m all good and clean and fresh tra la la under my blankie savouring a good Scotch. May every day end this perfectly.

I'm a South African-born American who dabbles in writing, photography and cookery. I lived in England for 6 years before moving to America. My first trip to Scotland was in 2003 and it was love at first sight. 4 trips later & I'm now on a quest to find a way back to my soul-home in Scotland. I've picked up favourite foods in each place I've lived so I'm a product of all the places I've been. A sprinkling of this, a dash of that and in an emergency, a generous splash of Scotch!
