Glad we're not hiking this Thursday

Rain, rain and more rain
This Thursday I am thankful for many things, one of them being that we won't be outside trying to maintain a positive outlook in what looks to be three-quarters of an inch of rain. Right now it's raining, but when I walked back from the bus it was mostly dry. Now that I'm inside and watching the rain come down, I'm glad I'm inside. I had a good workout at the gym, warm and cozy indoors.

As you can see from that graph, even though it's wet, it's not all that cold, so getting out and playing in the rain means I can maintain my body heat and then if I don't have to stop while outside and wet, I can easily have as much of a workout as I choose and then dry off. You have to find the upsides wherever you can.

And the other day our barista made a really cool design in Gene's latte, which I captured here. It was fun to watch as he drank it and the design morphed into an elongated headless skeleton.

Well, that's about all I can think of to write in my post today. I am feeling pretty good right now, sleeping well without any assistance (other than melatonin), and my yoga classes are helping me to keep my equilibrium. I hope it's the same for you, and that your Thanksgiving will be filled with lots and lots of love and comfort food. But no tryptophan coma, okay? Read about why turkey makes you sleepy here.

  1. My six year old granddaughter calls Thanksgiving turkey day. Part of our thanks is always for the turkey. Have a great day tomorrow.

  2. Happy Thanksgiving, DJan. It's snowing in Breckenridge - a very wet snow. We need it. Some of our Grands are with us - children are always a reason for gratitude.

  3. I baked four pies today and made cranberry sauce. We have now provided airport shuttle for Jill and kids going out to Colorado and Dave and Vicki coming in to head to Whidbey
    island. It a little bit we will gear up to go to the Sounders match, geared up for the rain which is still falling only lightly.
    Tomorrow we will follow family up to Whidbey Island where ten members of the Reeder clan will gather to give thanks.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

  5. Looks like you're getting a lot of rain there. We're coming out for our first visit to Abbotsford, and their forecast is all rain too.

  6. I always admire the way you cope with rain. We hide inside when it rains and we only get 12 in of rain all year.

  7. Yup the Thanksgiving forecast looks wet and snowy, depending upon your elevation. But I'm happy our mountains will be getting some snow!

  8. You get oodles more rain than we do. I know that Washington is one of the rainiest states in the US; that makes for lush land, also.
    Sending you sweet hugs for Thanksgiving.
    I have my dressing made.
    I will do the majority of the cooking tomorrow.
    I love to cook, and I especially love to have family over for Thanksgiving dinner. Wonderful time of the year....

  9. That's a nice design in that coffee. Here in Hawaii, we have lots of wind and a little rain.

    Have a beautiful Thanksgiving, my friend!
