today, I am grateful to start my day with my two wonderful daughters by going to church; for being able to purchase healthy foods for breakfast, lunch and dinners that fuel our bodies to be able to work and play hard; that my body is fit, healthy and capable to take me on amazing journeys through my running; that I have the ability and the fortitude to make healthy choices and lead a healthy lifestyle; that I am proud of where I am at today, that I'm not complacent and I continually work to be the best me. thank you, Lord, for making me strong and giving me the persistence to get to the gym, pound the pavement or whatever exercise it is that I do that helps me break a sweat most every day and for putting in my path people that inspire me to eat clean and live - and love - being physically fit and healthy, so that I am a positive example to my two impressionable daughters.

today, I am grateful for a difficult long run; for foam rolling; for ibuprofen; for being able to text family and friends at home and for Leisha for hosting a great pampered chef party which equals more $ earned for LLS.

today, I am grateful for one of D's coworkers meeting me to give Mak a ride to school so I could make it to work on time; for a family member offering to help with travel expenses for an unplanned trip home; for talking to my daddy; for Reese's unbirthday and for the weekend.

today, I am grateful for a few extra hours of sleep; for a long conversation this morning with my sister; for being able to meet my friend, Katie, for lunch and provide her support; for technology, so that I can stay in touch with people that I care about; for being able to make arrangements for home trips.

today, I am grateful for being able to stay in touch with my sister via text; for the outreach and love that she's received; for a beautiful morning sky that reminded me that even after the darkest night, the sun does rise again and joy and peace do return...eventually; for the lessons that we learn as a result of tragedy, heartbreak and loss; and for the abundance of blessings bestowed upon my family, both immediate and extended.

today, I am grateful for friends and family near and far that care and pray; for my sister; for her husband, that she tells me has been amazing to her while going thru this experience too; for my boys; and for the one I didn't meet that has made such a tremendous impact on our family.

today, I am grateful for an early morning dreadmill run; for a good first day of the new fiscal year; that I'm able to keep up with how my friends are doing in their treatments and provide some support, even if from afar; for the funny things my dad texts to me and for a super hot, relaxing Epsom salt bath.
