Gratitude Journal #204

Today, I am grateful for the whole Ironman experience...for spending time with Angela and Mike and, of course, my honey; for visiting with Nicole; for good food; for safe travel; for two finishers; for my mom who took good care of her grandsons. Good times.

Today, I am grateful for rest and recovery. Ironman sort of burned me out, and I didn't even do the race. George is already talking about doing another race (not Ironman!) in October. I just want to get caught up on phone calls and housework. And I am.

Today, I am grateful for rest and recovery of loved ones who are having health issues.

Today, I am grateful for Camp Kern's fifth-grade program. That's where Jack is for a few days, on his first overnight away from family. He's doing just fine, and so am I.

Today, I am grateful for kids who accept kids who are different.

Today, I am grateful for Nick's great start in show choir. And his new haircut. Boy looked pretty shaggy there for a while! I'm also grateful for our conversation on the drive to the barber. Nick is growing up into a smart, insightful young man.

Today, I am grateful for positive attitudes and perspectives.

What are you grateful for today?

  1. I enjoy reading your grateful lists. Reminds me there is so much to be grateful for every day...even if everything isn't always peachy keen.
    Today I am grateful that both of our daughters have brought into our family men that are kind, loving and gentle souls.
