Some of my favorite things....

1. A best friend who calls me back after he's just done working out and still would have met me somewhere in Janesville just to hang out for a bit if I had still been there. (Sorry Jim, I'll hang out longer in town next time.)

2. Another best friend who reminds me that we have a craft fair to attend this coming weekend! Let the ideas for our misbegotten/soon to be forgotten craft projects begin!

3. High ceilings and throwing my "getting heavier by the day" niece high up into the air - where I actually let go of her - and catching her again.... only because I'm addicted to her high pitched squeal and then peals of giggles to follow. :D

4. Sunny days that blend into beautiful, sunny evenings without a lot of sun glare to stare into on my way home.

5. Finally knowing that I deserve 1000 times better than Sam treated me.

6. Being happy with myself.

7. Not having had to take any of my 3 prescription medications for the last 3 weeks and it appears that I'm feeling better and better every day!!!

8. Thinking about running a marathon in January 2010!!! (I still can't believe I typed those words, much less spoke them out loud the other day.) Disney Marathon, here I come (if I can get registered in time).

9. Actually looking very much forward to now figuring out how to train over the next 13 months to run a marathon. Running at the Pettit Ice Center run/walk track will definitely help this winter!

10. Birthday dinners! Leah and Alissa's are tonight and I'm so looking forward to dinner with everyone this evening at mom and dad's.

That's it for now, more to come soon!!! It's been a good week, despite the nasty sinus cold I'm trying to work my way through.

Go ahead, smile! It will make you feel so much better!!!
