Elisabeth challenged us all to find gratitude in February, so she created the Finding Joy in Gratitude Collective. Here are my FIGs for last week.
Sunday, February 1 - A candle burning while I'm working out.

I made date balls yesterday. They are delicious. Two Costco trips ago, I bought a giant thing of dates and have been trying to replicate a date ball I purchased at a co-op grocery store a decade ago. I haven't quite nailed the dupe, but I have enjoyed my efforts.

What's that you see? Not just ANY photo of the community center, but one in which I'm going to my Tuesday night fitness class and it's still daylight! The days are getting longer! I can hardly contain how exciting it is that the possibility exists for Hannah to get at least one walk in sun every day.

I'm in a bit of a media slump right now - books and podcasts aren't hitting in the sweet spot. I downloaded the sadly defunct podcast You're the Expert and have been relistening to the episodes and they are so so funny. Let's all be happy for smart people discussing smart things in a funny way.

My boss asked us to set up a room to have a virtual option for one of our meeting about three minutes before the meeting started. My colleague was able to get it set up and we only started about three minutes late. Go her! I'm grateful she was there to help out. (And now I know how to do it for the next time.)
Friday, February 6
Yay for watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics with my husband. You would think we were some sort of expert on things like dancing, fashion, and how annoying Shawn White is. Winners: The scarves on the athletes for Great Britain, the hats from Colombia, the crowd booing Vance, the Jamaicans always having a good time, the beautiful Psyche/Cupid dance, and how cool the Olympic rings looked. Losers: The crowd booing the one poor athlete from Israel, Mariah Carey's boring and out of place performance, the split city thing so that the poor athletes in Cortina got half-assed everything, Snoop Dogg - just everything he did annoyed me, especially when they had him on instead of the Haitian athletes, and Shawn White's constant talk of the snowboarders and where he has traveled.
FYI: I'm going to go ahead and pretend I'm from Canada for the duration of the Games. It seems more fun that way.
I'm grateful for the Olympics to remind me that not all international operations are dismal.

Dr. BB and I went to a Skate & Ski event at a local park. We hiked around and they had these little signs posted on the trail and we had a fun time spotting them and reading them. I'm so grateful he's feeling well enough for outings like this and that our community has events like this.
What are you grateful for today?
I’ve put the O’s on once or twice because it seems like the thing to do, but I don’t find myself overly interested.
