Thursday thanks

Peanut doing her favorite thing: napping
Last Thursday was a good day.
Nothing earth-shattering happened.
It was just your normal, run-of-the-mill, Good Day.
  • I had plenty of work to do to keep me busy.
  • I had a hot cup of coffee available all morning long.
  • I found out last Thursday that I didn't need to take a last-minute flight across the country today (but I get to start planning for one next month). Score on both counts!
  • I had a delicious beet-and-goat-cheese salad for lunch.
  • I had that delicious salad after gliding through a 3 mile run around my neighborhood, with the sun shining, the birds singing, and neighbors waving.
  • Peanut curled up and slept, happily, on my lap for most of the afternoon. 
  • I went to an excellent yoga class, that both kicked my butt and relaxed me. (How is that possible?)
On all counts: it was a beautiful day!

What are you thankful for today?

PS - I survived the first week of marathon teaching days! Thanks for all who gave excellent suggestions yesterday. I think I am going to try to get a little exercise -- whether it's stretching, or a walk around campus -- just to break up the day, but I'll move my longer run-workout days to other days of the week.
