Counting blessings instead of blunders.

This week was a rough one. Mentally, emotionally, physically, the ups, downs, turns, twists, all have left me a little depleted, but not defeated. It wasn't all bad and as you know, things can always be worse. So I've decided to take every instance and put a positive, grateful spin on them. This helps me to navigate through the mushy haze that is my brain right now, and keep things in perspective. Things that I am grateful for this week: 1: I didn't have to work! 2: The Horribly Hilly ride last Saturday was only about 90% as horrible and hilly as my mind made it out to be. And I only had to clip out ONCE to push my bike up a hill! 3: My Cannondale...which I haven't ridden since January....did not hold a grudge and took GREAT care of me as always on those hills! 4: Culvers at the end of that ride!! ;-) 5: Family celebration on Father's Day, a reminder of what is important. This time together provided the strength and fuel to get us through the following 24 hours. 6: Rachel, for being my angel that night! 7: My sisters voice. 8: Family and friends...can't say it enough... 9: Candice...for the push! 10: Sasha....for the hug! 11: Matt, for the reminder. 12: Dan...for the dinner and support. 13: My team.....more pushing, encouragement, and laughs! 14: That my hubby isn't any sicker than he is, and is improving!! 15: That the incident on the road yesterday which was totally my fault, did not result in any injuries. 16: I will only allow maybe two or three days of beating myself up over it. 17: The fact that I am a fully insured driver, have a valid drivers license, and was not on my cell phone during said incident. 18: My legs were with me during my two hour run this morning providing the opportunity to smash myself physically. 19: The PAC pool...more smashing. 20: My sisters reassuring voice. 21: One week from today, our upcoming week at the HHT treatment center in St. Louis with Robyn will be over. My guardian angel was BUSY this week. I hope she still has some power in those wings for next week! :-) Enjoy this day!
