today, I am grateful for a recovery day; for silence; for rest; for Katie; and for my family - and by that, I mean family members, as well as close friends.

today, I am grateful to get to sleep late after a long day trip and late night; for a long training run - even though it was more tough than usual; for the things I learned that I need to do differently for my next training run; for snuggling with my Reesie-bottom; and for celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday with the fam - she's a pretty important mother figure to me in the absence of my own mama.

today, I am grateful to be part of the purple team that has a reach across the nation; for the endurance athlete that pushes through exhaustion and pain to finish an event and make people aware of LLS and the fight for a cure (talkin bout you, Joe!); for MIL & FIL; for a day trip with D; and that I was able to be part of the team to lend support to my trainer and experience the success and comradery of the RAB team.

today, I am grateful that the workday passed quickly; that tomorrow is my Friday off; for D folding laundry and putting most of it away; for Mak finally listening and getting her things put away even though she tests the boundaries and waits until the very last possible second before consequences are enforced; and for the sweet note that Reese wrote to me that said "I heart u! Mommy, you are the best Mommy! heart Reese". thank you, God, for my family.

today, I am grateful for remembrance; for events that happen in our lifetimes that make us who we are; for a strong, compassionate personality; for amazing friends; and for my family.

4/24/2012

today, I am grateful for the kudos received for the papers I write; for the validation and satisfaction it gives me; I'm grateful that I can email the guy at the cell place and have questions answered about my account bc it saves me from having to drive to the store; I'm grateful for my ability to work my body and for my trainer, who takes a vested interest in my progress - sure, I pay for training, but her commitment and interest in my success is more than just about $. she cares and that is unexpected and appreciated.
