it's thanksgiving again in canada and all weekend i've been counting my blessings:- beach walking and forest hiking-time in indian summer heat.
- silliness and antics with my adorable baby niece.
- hanging with family and friends at indulgent (and yummy) international thanksgiving dinners...
but that doesn't mean that life is all sunshine and stuffing...
i just found out i have rotoscoliosis which despite my chiropractor's frown, i am determined to reverse, along with bunions, fallen arches, dislocated knee, loose kneecaps and inverted hips. i should also have massive headaches, but i haven't gotten around to them yet as i've been busy working my spine into a corkscrew.
and yet, i feel fine. i'm actually thankful. a friend got me into her gym (lemme tell you even trainers i've been with weren't successful at it). another fitness consultant friend recommended chiro before working out (who woulda thought?). i have an amazing chiropractor in the family. and... i've got gwenyth paltrow's personal trainer's supa dupa exercise video so i can have some ballet-style fun.
all this to say: true thankfulness means being thankful for everything. not just the good but also the bad and ugly. the foundation of thankfulness is acceptance. accept it all. be grateful for it, all of it steers you forward. even if on fallen arches.
so carrying on the tradition of sly on thanksgiving, tonight's musical thank you gets a little funky. this is going on my gym rotation.
sly & the family stone - thank you (fallettinme be mice elf agin):
