Gratitude Journal #243

Today, I am grateful for George's successful completion of RAIN, the Ride Across Indiana...a 162.5-mile bike ride, um, across Indiana. He left Friday on a bus for the west side of Indiana, rode east for 10 hours, 32 minutes, and placed in the top half of all finishers. Way to go, George!

Today, I am grateful for Saturday morning. I went to sleep Friday night with Daisy curled up at the foot of the bed, and awoke Saturday morning feeling a paw pushing on my shoulder. When I rolled over, I saw this.


So glad my phone was handy to snap this picture.

Today, I am grateful for Jack's first sleep-over. He had a great time with his friend Jeremy. They watched movies, played ping pong, jumped on the trampoline, ate junk food, hunted fire flies, got a decent night's sleep, then went to Chuck E. Cheese (omg, I am so going straight to heaven when I die!), and ate lunch at McDonald's.

Today, I am grateful for my iPhone because my computer won't play videos or send/receive email...but my phone will.

What are you grateful for today?

  1. Fireflies! I was up much too late the other night wandering and looked out my front window to the field across the street. I was so amazed to see fireflies. I didn't know we had them in my neigborhood. I've always loved them. I'll never forget the summer lecture from my biologist daughter about bio-luminessence. : ) It's an amazing part of nature.

  3. I enjoy watching the bikers come through my town of Centerville (last town on US 40 before the finish line at Earlham College). My brother-in-law has done the ride several times. Not many people can bike 150 miles in one day!

  5. George did RAIN, huh? A friend used to do the RAGBRAI - Bike Across Iowa. He loved it. There are so many Bike Across (pick a state) that he could see the country that way. I hear Maryland's is pretty, but also hilly.

    I'm grateful for having moved back to Ohio. Best decision I've made in a long time. Wanna do lunch one day? :)
