“Be grateful, but never content.” Robin Roberts. I watched Oprah’s Master Class series with Robin Roberts and this quote really touched my heart. It seems fitting for me and where I am in my life. I tend to set lofty goals for myself and am a goal oriented person……and am rarely content with where I want to be in life…(something else I’m working on.)

What quotes resonate with you?

Was able to spend another lazy Sunday today and loved every minute of it. It was hot out and I ventured out only enough to take the recycling out. I splet in, washed my sheets, leisurely read the newspaper, ran 3.5 miles, and spent many minutes on my dissertation. Am grateful for days like this.

What are you grateful for today?

Despite having to work today (on a Saturday of a holiday weekend) I am pleased that the day is quiet and slow. Motivation was slow to come but once it did I hit the ground running. Am thankful for a slow and quiet work day.

Enjoyed the evening with a wonderful friend and her family. It was a blessing to spend time, share laughs, and play with her lil guy. Just love them.

What part of the day are you most grateful for?

Happy 4th of July all! God Bless America! I’m grateful to be an American and appreciate all of the freedoms granted to me. Thank you to all of the service past, present, and future who have, do, and will protect our freedoms.

Today, was a weeeee bit of a challenging day at work. My coworkers were such gems (especially Lizzy). When I reach a breaking point (like I did today) I am thankful to have others to help me move past it. 

Who helps you get through the day, just when you need it?

What a gorgeous day today was….and what a blessing it was to have the day off. Sure, I needed to trade a weekend day for this but to have a full day to enjoy how gorgeous the weather was, outside, with family, and getting a lot accomplished. I love days like this and am grateful to be able to do this more often…one day it will be far more often.

What were you grateful for today?

Awww……running, oh how I have missed you! I, like many others, have a love/hate relationship with running and go in and out of phases where I enjoy running and work hard at becoming a better one. And then there are times in which I become bored and need variety in my workouts. But, nothing has transformed my body like running has so I think that is what drives my return to it. I am grateful to have returned and back into a a stronger workout routine.

What element of your life have you returned back to?

Today was one of those “easy like Sunday morning” days. I spent some wonderful time resting, reading the paper, working out, walking the pups, cleaning, and relaxing. These are some of my favorite kinds of days and I am grateful to have had one today.

What are you grateful for today?

I swear I have THE best friends anyone can have. I spent some much needed time catching up with one of the most beautiful, funny, sweet, smart, and kind girlfriend anyone can ask for. I just adore her and am grateful to have her in my life and spend some wonderful girl time together. I spent so much time smiling that my cheeks were actually sore at the end of the night.
