One of my favorite lessons in Girls on the Run is the lesson on gratitude.  Tuesday we had that lesson.  As each girl finished a warm-up lap she had to look at the next letter in the alphabet and identify something starting with that letter that she was grateful for.  They were grateful for elephants, ice cream, and ka-pow! (don’t ask; 10 year old girls are funny.)

So…in that spirit, here are some things I’m grateful for this week:

The wag of a dog’s tail, the tilt of a pug’s head, the way my pugs race into the house when I say “It’s time for breakfast!”

Hot coffee with Almond Joy creamer

Free lunch at work on Tuesday

Backing my first project on Kickstarter

New music from Mumford and Sons

Getting to wake up to this guy in the morning.
