grateful today that I got to go in to work a little late and I left a lot early; that Mak was kind and thought of her sister today when she went to the library; that check-in was smooth; that we had safe flights; and that we finally made it to our hotel :)

grateful for hard workouts that keep me sane; that D was finished with work "early" and was able to run a few errands for me; that I had an extremely busy day and got everything done that I needed to get done so that I can go enjoy my trip; that Reese was nominated for a "Bear pride" award; and that tomorrow is the start of our vaca woot!

grateful to be able to run in the wind - because it means I'm capable and strong; grateful that one of the hats I wear is that of taxi driver - because it means that my kids are involved in activities they enjoy; grateful to be able to donate my time, energy and products to a cause I believe in - because it means I'm helping to raise $$ to fund a cure for cancer; grateful that folks think I'm an inspiration for them to lead healthy and happy lives - must be doing something right; grateful for my sensitivity, empathetic heart and country roots.

grateful today for the sun shining and a beautiful day; for Mak and Reese mostly getting their chores done; that I had some time at home to start getting things ready for our trip; for my sweet Reese and the kind things she says (mama, you're the best!) and that D had a good boondoggle weekend where he did learn coaching tips too and made it safely home.

today, I am grateful for a good run with team - been a while since I've run that far and it was tough but worth it; for the privilege of being able to witness my beautiful friend Courtney begin her happily ever after with Jake; for the kind compliments received about Mak and Reese - they are kind, sweet, adorable, beautiful young ladies; for Reese's beautiful smile and her laughter; and for an afternoon and movie night with my loves.

grateful today for a day "off"; for a good meeting to kickstart fundraising for my run events; that my friend, Cody, made time in her busy schedule to see me before she transferred; for the opportunity to experience new things; that gma and gpa help with watching Reese and getting Mak to cheer practice so I can run.

grateful today that Reese was able to open up and let me in on what's going on at school; for friends that reinforce that I am a good mom; for laughter; that Mak seems to be doing better; for Natalie - that she touched so many people in her short time here and she continues to be an inspiration.
