I love that idea. There was a time when I kept a "gratitude journal" where I'd write down all the things I was thankful for at the end of each day. It really helped to keep things in perspective.
I decided to have one day where I post five things about the week that I'm grateful for/that make me happy. I probably should have put this on a stress-prone day, like Monday or Tuesday, but I liked the alliteration of "Fun Five Friday" too much to give it up. These may be events, songs, things, whatever. Hopefully they'll put you in mind of your own blessings, or at least make you smile. :)
So, without further ado, the pilot post for Fun Five Friday...
1. Hydrangeas. I never thought I liked hydrangeas all that much...they were just okay. But Travis bought me some for Valentine's Day, and they look so pretty bunched together in a vase!
Excuse the bad phone pic.
2. Fridays off work. This semester, I've ended up working at the coffeehouse from 7:30am - 4:30pm almost every Saturday. It isn't that bad until you consider that I also always work Fridays from 2pm - 7pm.
Leave at 7pm, back at 7:30am, work all day, and work at the church on Sunday morning? Goodbye, sweet weekend. I'm glad we had so many years together.
But! I talked to my general manager, who was very understanding, so I should have Fridays off from now on. At least for a while.
3. Night Club Cardio. Fridays off means I get to attend this afternoon workout class with my dear friend Katherine D. We used to go to Zumba, but those mid-week classes at our gym get sooo crowded that they're not fun. So we're glad to go to this class together!
4. Florence and the Machine's new album, Ceremonials (except for the one creepy-sounding song). My friend Laura gave me this CD a few weeks ago and I literally have not taken it out of the player in my car. Well, I did once, but that was only because Travis was tired of it. After he got out of the car, I sneakily put it back in.
In particular, check out "Shake It Out," "No Light, No Light" and "All This and Heaven Too."

Laura and I aren't digging Flo's hair on the album cover, so I chose this instead.
5. Peanut Butter Cheerios. They have been sold out every week at both HEB's. Until now.

Behold the glory.
What are you thankful for this week?
Are those peanut butter cheerios good? I've been wanting to try them, but didn't want to commit to an entire box lol! And the flowers are quite pretty! Something I'm thankful for this week? That I tricked myself somehow into thinking I had 3 tests in 1 week when it is really only 2.
