5 things I'm grateful for on Mar 31

1. another beautiful day & warmer too

2. that i'm not overweight & don't have to watch what i eat. but i often make healthy choices in my diet though i don't restrain myself when i just want to indulge (this thought came while listening to a health talk show offering advice to people who want to get back on the wagon (not talking about alcohol, but weight issues here)

3. noticing yellow & purple spring flowers in different places (near my office and at 四谷 station)

4. that my pants didn't fall off in class when i forgot to zip after going to the toilet....oOps! 

5. that my toughest classes (in terms of the time & distance) have finally ended this month. one last week and the other (all female-class...thank god for no. 4) today. hopefully no new classes to fill those teaching blocks up soon! 

5 things I'm grateful for on Mar 30

1. a beautiful day as I was able to sit on the side of a fountain during lunch break to bask in the sun & just soak in its warmth for a few minutes

2. managed to get to work on time even though i missed my train in the morning (although i had to get a cab, which i won't be reimbursed for, to another station to try to make another train)

3. had a pretty good class today although i felt a little tired after the first private lesson

4. the lemongrass tea with manuka honey i'm having now

5. the foot bath that i do almost every night & the foot massage that i'm going to give myself now
