With the Little Bliss List, I’m celebrating the lovely little, and big, things that happened throughout myweek! I find it’s a great way to find and attitude of gratitude! Hope you will join me!
Here’s my big thing:
My husband, Bryan, and I finished our first 5K (Say Thanks to The Troops at Fort Snelling) this weekend!
After on-and-off training and a sizzling hot Saturday morning, we were surprised to finish the 3.1 miles in a better time than expected—29 minutes!
I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment that comes with preparation, execution, and exceeding those expectations! Oh, and the flood of dopamine after you’re done isn’t bad either.
The little things:
- Waking up, comfortably curled in my cool sheets with the sun peeking through my bedroom window and drawing back the shades to admire the bright blue sky, green leaves, and peeping birds
- The majority of birthdays I celebrate are in June (six to be exact), so it’s been great to get some QT with my always-entertaining party of six that makes up my side of the family:
- Watching my husband thrive in his element—performing at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis:

It’s called Mee Kah Teeh (red curry sauteed with rice noodles, egg, peanuts, garlic, and bean sauce)—my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
- Getting back to hot yoga after two weeks—hello relaxation and sweat! And, I thought it was so cool that I got a hug from the instructor, even though she doesn’t know me—people are awesome!
- Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved searching the sky and pretending I’m a meterologist. While at the Twins game last night, it didn’t take a real meterologist to discern that something was brewing in the outfield! Love this pic:

Hi, Blair! SO happy to connect with you and thanks for stopping by my site…your words made me smile! 🙂 I love your bliss list, too! 🙂 Oh, especially the thai food one…we moved to a new area 2 years ago and still haven’t found any great thai. It’s my fav!!! i also love your daily meditations on here…beautiful! your site is a breath of fresh air. :):)
p.s. love that you ran the 5K – did you just run it honor of the troops or are you affiliated with the military at all? my hubs is in the coast guard. 🙂
Thank you Renee! Thai is sooooo good – I’m trying to find an excuse to get some for dinner tonight 😉
I ran the 5K in honor of my best friend’s husband who is a Marine. Tell your hubs thank you for his service!
Have a great day! xo
What a wonderfully blissful post Blair! Congrats on your 5K. You really did rock it. Sigh…to do 5K in under 30…it’s a dream. One day! Fantastic photos too! Have a blissful new week xx
Thank you Lorinda! You’ll get there! Heck, I had NO clue I could do it until it just “happened!” Have a great week!
