Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

....going to see a completely ridiculous, stupid & funny movie, “Balls of Fury”....if only to see Christopher Walken.

...movie theatre popcorn.

...heavy rain.

...nice neighbors.

...not carrying my cell phone with me.

Today I am grateful for having the finances to pay for my last semester of college…again!

Today I am grateful for my new friend “C”, who shares my perspective of life in many ways.

Today I am grateful for my son, “R”, who has grown into a fairly responsible 18 year-old who expresses a genuine love for his mother :-).

Today I am grateful for the rain, which we realllllllllly needed.

Today I am grateful for a great run, even though I didn’t even want to go and dreaded the thought of lacing up my shoes :P

Today I am grateful for whoever started this thread…..

1. Dr. “W”, my college professor and advisor who is always on top of everything I need to do to graduate next semester…I am truly grateful for her love of teaching and genuine teacher caring.

2. My free standing Everlast boxing bag….what a great workout.

3. For random quotes picked up in random places that motivate me…like one off a book in the coffee shop last night. “

“The gap between those who are successful and those who are not, is the gap between those who say “I should” and those who say “I did”. (I don’t think I worded that exactly right , but you can get the idea, lol)

4. Again, a motivating, consistent, loving and supportive life partner, my hubby, “T”

5. Artichoke hearts…de-lish!

1. My neighbor who motivates me to run more…she’s 13 years younger than me, a dentist, an M.D., tri-athlete, wife and mother of two beautiful girls.

2. My huge kitchen and granite counter tops.

3. Having the time to cook in my huge kitchen.

4. Avocados

5. Playing Magic the Gathering every Thursday night with my hubby and a diverse group of adults and kids.
