#30daysofgratitude

Nov 27 #optoutside prompt - REI hosts the #optoutside challenge every year. They close their stores on Black Friday and encourage everyone to go outside for fresh air and adventure. #Optoutside today. Go for a walk. Step outside on your porch. Take a deep breath and be thankful. We are so lucky to live in a world with adventure and the great outdoors. https://www.rei.com/opt-outside

jb72 Gratitude: the great outdoors (it‘s a good movie too), adventures, playing ball with Scout this morning, fresh clean air, waterfalls near my house 4y
TheSpineView Headed to the barn in a little bit. Myself and a small group are going on a trail ride. Perfect weather today to enjoy the outdoors and what better way to experience it but from horseback. 4y

#Audiowalk for #Optoutside on Black Friday. It has been a yearly tradition long before it became a thing. ☺️One of my favorite local spots. Left the family at 🏡, which was fine with me, I was craving some alone time.

Loving this book so far.

CaitZ Looks like it was a beautiful day 5y

I listened to this book of poems as I hiked the Outer Mountain Loop in Big Bend National Park for #optoutside weekend.

I love Cisneros! And the audiobook was read by her.

1. 👆👆👆 #catsoflitsy
2. Home.
3. Take out Chinese. I needed a break from cooking for 3x as many people for a week!
4. I work from home on a very flexible schedule, but of course my favorite way to relax is reading!
5. We #OptOutside on Black Friday, bought Nutcracker ballet tickets and some essential oils on #CyberMonday, and donated to 3 non-profits on #GivingTuesday.

Stopped into A Book Barn in Clovis, CA, today. I left with these. I was limited by the 3+ mile walk back to the car along the Clovis Old Town Trail. The book barn was awesome, the trail would be better on a bike, but hey I don't feel like I walked 6.5 miles. #optoutside #bookhaul #usedbooks

1. A reminder that last year at this time, Native Americans were fighting a pipeline. This year, they are dealing with a massive oil spill. 😞
2. My sweet potato casserole (not too sweet)
3. Chickens. Our HOA does not allow them. 🐓
4. No Black Friday shopping, I #OptOutside and will spend the morning at yoga, the afternoon in nature. 🍁 🍂 🧘‍♀️
5. I am 5‘1. My 9 year old is 4 1/2 ft tall, so I may be outgrown by her soon!

Kaye Sounds like a wonderful and refreshing way to spend the day. 🙂 7y

It is almost time for one of my favorite readathons of the year!! Thankfully Reading! It is a no rules readathons over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Skip all the Black Friday nonsense and just read! You can find out more and sign up here http://www.jennsbookshelves.com/2017/11/14/2017-thankfully-reading-weekend/ #thankfullyreading

hike.read.repeat Great idea. There‘s also this campaign started by REI called #optoutside where you skip the sales and do something outdoors. I‘ll be hiking and binging on audiobooks. 7y
Wife I‘m working, but I love ❤️ the idea of skipping the retail nonsense. 7y
LiteraryinPA @hike.read.repeat That‘s a great idea! 7y

CocoReads Sounds great to me. My aunt will be here from FL so I‘m not sure how much reading I‘ll get done but I️ don‘t Black Friday anyway so I️ should get a little extra time in. 7y
Reviewsbylola I definitely need to do this! 7y
CatLass007 Sounds great! I‘ll give it a go. 7y
Jen2 Fabulous idea, I‘m going to read on the beach!!! 7y
ReadingSusan @hike.read.repeat yes I have heard those commercial! What a great campaign. I am definitely in favor of that. 7y
ReadingSusan @Wife sorry you have to work 😭 7y
ReadingSusan @CatLass007 @Reviewsbylola the best part is there is no pressure or requirements to read the whole time. You just fit it in as you can. 7y
Char I'll be enviously thinking of you all reading in cozy spots, while I finish packing and move. 7y
ReadingSusan @Char oh no that doesn‘t sound like fun on a holiday weekend 😭😭 But also audiobooks 😁😁 7y
Char @ReadingSusan I will start a new job on the 27th so its a bit unavoidable. I'll have to look into digital versions; just realized that my jeep doesnt have a cd player 7y
