Thankful For . . .

After a long weekend, I am thankful for. . .

1. Holidays like yesterday that give us days off to hang out and do whatever we please!
2. Dawgs ~ there’s just nothing like watching a game ‘tween the hedges
3. Good running shoes & socks ~ I bought some new shoes Saturday and ran the 10K yesterday with them. Except for a little burning sensation on the ball of my right foot, my feet did great!
4. Supportive Friends ~ Our friend Laurie got up early on her Labor Day to stand at the end of her street to cheer us on during our race! She has no idea how much I needed to see her and hear her cheers! Thanks, sweet friend.
5. Pedicures ~ Momma and I enjoyed pedicures Saturday afternoon together. How relaxing!
6. Creative Friends ~ Scrapbooking with Amy and Ashlee was so much fun! They are so creative and have so many ideas. I learned so much from them and hope to do a scrapbook night again soon!
7. Aleve Sinus Headache ~ It’s taken some of the pressure away today!
Football at home ~ the new TV was perfect for watching the Dawgs Saturday! Fun times with the Mock family coming over!
8. Small SS Classes ~ Tim and I substituted Sunday morning and kept the 3-year-old class. We only had 6, and they were so well behaved! So much fun!
9. Gov. Sarah Palin ~ I am thankful for such a down-home candidate with a family so much like a family you can find just about anywhere in the USA these days.
10. My New iPod Shuffle ~ I didn’t realize how spoiled I’d become exercising with music. . . until my iPod died. It’s just not the same running to an old Country song that’s slow and twangy. I need music to pump me up!!
11. Gma’s Zucchini Bread Recipe ~ As a child, I never dreamed I’d be making it myself one day. Gma was delighted to share the recipe with me, and I must admit, it’s good bread!
12. YOU!
