But, I’m trying to change my ways because I’d like to get my face next to something way cooler in a law book. And I’ll let you know what that might be once I figure it out.
So, here I go pursuing optimism...
The Monday after a four day weekend doesn’t suck. It’s just a reminder of how nice it is to have relaxing days off!
Running a half-marathon is awesome even if you did run it in exactly two hours. Be thankful that you pushed it that last mile rather than wishing you pushed it even harder to run it in under two hours! After all, it was a personal best and you did get this sweet medal…
Thanksgiving is glorious. The food, the wine, the lack of guilt in consuming three days worth of calories in just a few hours. We kept it pretty low-key this year. With our sights set on the running we have been doing, we looked up a few recipes in Cooking Light and had great results.
The reflection of me through my husband’s eyes is something to be thankful for even when it isn’t the super skinny, tan, perfect reflection we all wish for. It's one of those things that continues to make me thankful for the life I lead. It’s the power of the relationships we surround ourselves with that allows us to be our best selves.
And as I reflect on this last holiday we’ll spend away from our friends and family, I treasure my young marriage and this quiet time we have together. I am thankful for the days that he points out my pessimism as much as I am thankful for the days that he points to my overbearing need to continue to grow as a personal strength.
On Saturday, we got up to watch NASA launch a ROVER to Mars. It will take this thing 8 1/2 months to reach its destination. I can't help but wonder where our lives will take us in that amount of time!
