1. A job. Granted it’s making me a tad nutso right now, it pays the bills and lives don’t depend on whether I goof up or not. (We’d all be in big trouble if I were say….a neurosurgeon. Yikes!)
2. Family. I have a wonderful family. They are very supportive and always around to lend me an ear or a shoulder. Now if only I could get them to lend me a bottom for those long tri-training bike rides…
3. LLoyd! Need I say more?
4. Running. Oh sweet baby Jesus how I love the stress relief I get from a good, intense run. I’ve got track work on deck tonight. Bring it track!
5. Food. I love food. Let’s be honest here, my inner fat girl wants to eat cookies, french fries, and cake everyday. I don’t, but when I do, oh my is it lovely. (And of course, not everyone is as fortunate to eat three meals a day.)
6. Humor. I love a comedian and I love laughing. I really enjoy making people laugh and I’m thankful that some people find me funny. Even if they are just laughing at me.
7. The BRA. These people were a God send. Don’t know what I’d do without each and every single one of them. C’mon people, group hug!
8. This Blog. It keeps me in check and helps me vent. And it’s led me to some wonderful folks.
9. Sun. Sure it’s beating me all to hell during my runs, but that vitamin D does wonders.
10. Me. I’m gonna go ahead and be thankful for me. What? It’s ok to be thankful for ones self, so long as you don’t get all Paris Hilton about it.
So, what are you thankful for today?
That was beautiful.
I quote John Powell: "When life hands you lemons, squeeze them in the eyes of the person who gave them to you and say, 'where are the oranges I asked for?!'"
Sometimes it's all about making the best of whatever situation you find yourself in. Know what you have control over, and what you don't, and rest easy knowing you're doing the best you can. (I love a runner!)
I am also thankful for food. Especially mass quantities of it after a 10+ miler. OM NOM NOM!!!!
Will you two please take your schmoopy selves offline? I feel like I am having a reaction to sugary candy.
(Mmmmm….candy….ahhhhhhhhh)
Nice list – I love that YOU and LLOYD make it! A girl after my own heart 🙂
Enjoy the track!
good hairdressers 😉
an amazing family.
an impromptu lunch w/the hubby.

I thankful that shaving your head is still in style!
one of the reasons I stick to my daily gratitude list is exactly what you said, when things are feeling hard it makes me step back and go you know what I am pretty darn lucky
What a great list.
