Happy last Thursday of 2016. To say this was a kinda rough year is understatement. I've had better years and I've had worse but at least I made it through. From the looks of it, I'm not the only person feeling that way. Here are some thoughts for today for y'all:

Hot Cocoa on a Budget
Happy hump day!!!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. After getting back from a quick road trip, I ended up spending the rest of Sunday until yesterday with the Flu. I still feel a little under the weather but I don't feel completely uhh anymore.
One of the things that has helped my is drinking liquids. I have been drinking water (of courser) & tea quite a bit (its' my new thing these days). Other than that I'm obsessed with Ghirardelli hot cocoa mix.
I picked a large bag at the store a week or so ago. The large bag was about $5.50 and makes 10 cups of cocoa. I have tried the Triple Chocolate, which is super yummy. Thing I like about this is that you use milk instead of water, which makes it similar to homemade. This is great if you are in a crunch or sick like me. All you do add:
-1 cup warm milk (usually, I put mine in the microwave but you can do it on the stove as well)
-1 packet of mix or if you have the big bag 1 tbsp mix
-Stir well well.
Below I did the mix. I added in homemade whipped cream and chopped Andes peppermint pieces.
Oh, and the mug is from Marshalls. I ended up buying two more in different colors.
Peace & blessing, all. Have a great Wednesday. Try to stay healthy & not get sick, all.
This is my personal opinion of the products. I received not compensation for view.

Thoughtful Thursday
I can't believe that today is the beginning of Winter. Personally, I thought it was Winter already with the way the weather has been. Here are some funny quotes to help you get through the rest of this busy week leading up to Christmas:
Peace & blessing all. Hope everyone gets all their shopping & other pre-holiday activities done in these last few days so you can relax. I'm looking forward to the not setting my alarm for a couple of days & enjoying the break.

Fitness Tuesday
Is anyone else over the cold as much as I am?? Since it has been super cold (I mean super cold for the South anyway), I haven't really been running. In Winter late fall, I get lazy due to the weather changes. Let me rephrase that: the crazy weather in the later months has made it hard to stick to a plan when you mainly run outside.
With the holidays right around the corner, I thought that some of these exercises would be great to do. They are convenient since you can do them in any free space, require not weights, and can be done in the warmth of your home.
Peace and blessings, all. Try to stay warm and have a great Tuesday!!!

Weekend Reads
Does anyone else ever plan to do something then something else comes up and once they get finished with what distracted them they realize they forgot to the the original task?

Thoughtful Thursday
So, I thought when I graduated last Friday that I would have more time to blog. Well, I was very wrong. As of late, I have been busy with work task, finishing my grad school stuff, and getting ready to start my new job. Let's say that I'm ready to have a chill/do nothing moment. That probably won't happen anytime soon. Here are a few some thought for today:
