Month of Gratitude Day 20
Another of humanity's greatest inventions (after the library, see Day 12) is the menstrual cup. Even more than that, I'm grateful that menstrual cycles cease permanently eventually. I can't wait until I can add 'menopause' to my list of things for which I'm grateful.

After our clocks "fell back" an hour, I was able to fit walks in the morning before work again. This will be the last week though, I think. Next week, fall break, it won't be an issue but then in December it will stay dark too late in the morning.

This quinoa chickpea salad is easy and scrumptious. I don't dislike quinoa like Nisha does, but her method does make it more fun. rainbowplantlife.com/quinoa-salad/
This pumpkin cornbread is yummy too.

Everything that goes into how I eat. My mom was a good cook and advisor (answering my many questions via phone and email in my young adult years). All the stuff I've read and watched about health and cooking. Good glass storage containers. Refrigerators. Two day weekends.

My love of public libraries goes back to early elementary school, where I had an awesome librarian who invited us to hang out in her library during lunch recess. (There were TWO recesses back then). She would read aloud to us while we did crafts or weaving. Read ALT text.

There is a vent under the coat hooks in my foyer. When I put on my coat on cold mornings, like today, 23 degrees, its warmth envelopes me wonderfully. 😁

There are multiple routes I can take to work even though my workplace is less than 5 miles from home. One of the routes includes a kind of a shortcut that gets me off the congested stroad faster and I am feeling grateful for that. 🚙

I'm grateful to all the people who voted for Democrat candidates recently, both here in VA and elsewhere. Also for the Democrat shift that was seen in many places. Even some places that had more Republican votes had shifts toward more Democrats compared to last year.

I have access to miles and miles of lovely hiking and biking trails within 5 miles of my house. Also, I had today off and was able to fit in a 5.2 mile hike in pretty autumn woods alongside the river. 💚🥾

My city, Fredericksburg, VA, puts high value on walkability. The water alongside the Canal Path makes a nice backdrop for autumn leaves too. I’m also grateful for my muscles and my lungs, fresh air, sunshine, hiking boots, and walking shoes with thick supportive soles.

I just joined Planet Wild to help support environmental conservation projects. It's going to replace my Awesome Socks Club because my sock drawer is overstuffed.
I love this project in which they dropped marble sculptures into the sea off the coast of Italy to deter trawlers.
