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

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 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”
