Yesterday I did something I rarely do. I skipped church to do my long run. This weekend was my annual reunion with college friends. We had a ball, but there was no way I was going to run on Saturday. By the time Sunday rolled around I needed a few hours alone to recharge before the workweek started back this morning. You know, I’m an introvert. It was a perfect Nashville morning with sunny skies and a crisp temperature. While covering my six miles, I made a mental list of some things I’m grateful for. Here’s a pictorial essay of my partial gratitude list. Click on any photo to access its cutline.
I brought our weekend hostess an arrangement from my yard. Her reaction was priceless. She left know doubt that she really loved the flowers as she thanked me for them several times on Saturday.
Here’s the scene of our Saturday morning brunch. There’s nothing like being with friends from back in the day. Photo credit: JoAnn.
One friend couldn’t be with us, so she was immortalized on cardboard and included in all group photos.
By Sunday I was ready to be lazy around the house. I had to push myself out the door for that long run. I decided to treat myself afterward. I’m grateful for small rewards.
