I'm happy enough with my 'the same' life. The rats and bugs are outside, our house is warm and cosy and I don't have to worry about flooding in torrential weather. I live close enough to absolutely beautiful beaches that can be enjoyed in any weather. There are no beach clubs but that doesn't matter to me. My family are not too far away and any time I get to spend with them over this Christmas period will be an absolute bonus after spending months apart. I love cooking and after a few days of holidays eating out/restaurants/takeaways I absolutely crave home cooked, good wholesome food. When we eventually get a pet it will be the right time for us as a family to welcome a pet into our family. For the long haul - not just a few weeks for 'the gram'
My gym is a warm, welcoming community where everyone is taking covid and personal hygiene very seriously as no-one wants to move back to home workouts if at all possible, there are no egos, no my protein sponsored athletes. Just people trying to make fitness fun and not something to be boasted about or videoed.
I am lucky to be in paid employment , in a job that I enjoy and have a steady income that doesn't fluctuate month by month. It gives my family stability and lets us plan for unexpected events and save for special occasions.
This is my daily gratitude journal. Today I am eternally grateful that I'm not 'living differently' and trying to climb the influenza ladder by trying to impress the higher tier of fitness influencers and make out that my life is something to be aspired to. I paid for my hair to be cut, highlighted and treated today and I was so happy to be able to support a business that has had a tough few months. That made me happy, I wasn't looking for a discount, reduction or freebie in return for a shout out. Being fitted in, getting an appointment and leaving a tip was enough for me.
Anyone else enjoying 'living the same'?
