It's Sunday! And sorta sunny. Also, looks like I might be able to ride outside tomorrow before work.
I am thankful I have a sweetie who understands bike love, and even enables it!
(and doesn't think I'm a nut for spending $XX for a pair of bike shorts, but get hives at the thought of spending anywhere near that for a pair of pants to wear to work)
I'm also thankful for the beautiful quiet ride I had this morning in the soft gray light, and thankful for the bike lanes my neighborhood put on the low-traffic side streets. (encouraging bikes to avoid the high-traffic main streets altogether)
Really glad I went to yoga this morning.
So grateful I'm so lucky.
Today I'm thankful George won the final stage of TofC yesterday!
I'm thankful for bench presses (really). And for sunshine, again.
I'm so thankful that Starfish was not injured by a car and that she arrived safely at her home.
I'm thankful that there are no TE'ers in the hospital who are critically injured. I enjoy the fellowship of these wonderful gals. :)
Today I am thankful for the spring-like weather.. the window is open and I can hear the birds singing!
I'm going to say I'm thankful for the 1.5 hours on the trainer I have to do now, but I'm not sure that's not a fib? No... I AM thankful! I'll be more thankful when it is over, though!:rolleyes:
Monday, I am grateful
For being able to ride outside before work. No ice, no rain, not too cold
For having only THREE more days left in my current assignment (the one from hell) and therefore, only THREE more commutes all the way out to Herndon
For my rad, comfy Frye harness boots, which are my choice of footwear w/skirts during the winter.
I'm thankful for the bike that is sitting on my trainer at the foot of my bed. I'm excited to try a new spinervals tomorrow.
I'm thankful for benadryl. When expensive allergy eye drops fail, I have something to fall back on.
I'm thankful for TE, everyone here has been so helpful and inspirational.
I'm thankful for Perth Summers..It's 36C today :)
I'm thankful for everything, even the one bathroom (what luxury, having TWO bathrooms!) that's calling out to me to be cleaned.
I'm thankful for my primroses, which are just busting out all over with blossoms after today's sun.
Today, I am thankful for
My good friends who have supported me through a tough year
Knowing that I have only two more days that I must commute out to Herndon
Today I'm thankful because:
I found $20 on a snow bank! Woo-hoo!
I adore my LBS guys.
My friend gave me a fantastically creepy steel crow sculpture which I love.
Another good day!
I'm thankful that my BIL is still with us and seemingly doing well - we will get to spend another few days at spring training with the rockies, eating rocky dogs and drinking good beer!
I'm looking forward to warm weather riding in a few weeks in Phoenix - it is nice to be so close to the warm weather.
and I'm thankful that my geraniums are blooming so vibrantly fuscia in my wintery window at work!
I am thankful I am 27, in good health, healed after a year of foot surgery problems and did a mini tri on a beautiful winter day.
And I am thankful for the moose that I had to bike around didn't move. Because 5 feet away from a very large moose butt is kinda scary.
I'm thankful for the flowering dogwood and blooming cherry trees, wildly colorful crocuses and daffodils and some little purple flower I don't know; all saturating my walk thru a very urban neighborhood to work this morning.
I know I complain a bit, well a lot about living in the midst of a remodel but I am thankful for my health, that I have the funds (I hope I hope) to complete the job. However messy it's a roof over my head and many on this planet don't have that.
Most of all I am thankful for Knott, she keeps me smiling :D. And all the support and laughter I find on TE and for my family.
Well, off to sweep up dust in the kitchen. :p
I am thankful for my strength, physical and mental. I am truly blessed.
I am also thankful that the majority of the time I'm fairly humble, but obviously not today.
I'm thankful that my long term substitute position is going well. I got a surly 12 year old boy to do his book project in my class yesterday, after my teammates told me he did nothing in their classes.
I'm also thankful that I feel well enough to work!
I'm thankful I have access to electric power.
And I'm thankful for power failures to keep me honest.
I'm thankful that all my board members showed up last night, and no one is complaining, and they all agreed with me on keeping that one guy from coaching.

I'm thankful I have indoor plumbing. Plumbing is a beautiful thing, and I take it for granted far too often. (Until it has a problem, then I appreciate the heck out of it!!!!)
Very grateful I was able to clear my drains myself last night.
I'm thankful for the fact that I'm off work tonight (meaning, I get to SLEEP MORE!).
And for the coffee I am about to pick up (THANK YOU STARBUCKS!) in order to get home safely this morning!
And for the reminder from this thread that I need to be thankful daily!
Oh, and I'm thankful for the sore calves from my run yesterday! OK, maybe I'm not as thankful for those...:cool:
I'm thrilled beyond words. We (mutt and I) went on a long'ish morning walk where she had a friendly momentary play with another dog. Although the dog was offleash :( I'm glad because I saw it would be a friendly encounter.
She's a rescue mutt and come such a long way. There was a time this would have never occured. When I got her she'd go nutso if she even saw another dog. She seemed pleased to get to play with a dog.
Wednesday gratitude
Riding outside, after missing yesterday due to cold rain (today, windy as all get out but not too much ice)
Toughing it out at work--making myself do some things beyond my comfort level
Only one more day of commuting out to Herndon
Dark chocolate covered blueberries (bliss)
Mr. Mouse's inability to pass up the bait and going into the Electric Trap. Zap, Mr. Mouse. I hope it was quick and painless!
I'm thankful ;)
I am grateful today that I have some really great colleagues. Man, does that make a difference in your day.
Poor Mr. Mouse.
Or Ms. Mouse.
Just trying to find a warm place to sit out the winter...;)
I had to go to Georgetown today :(
but in doing so may have gotten a clue as to the source of my kinetic dysfunction :) :)
I am thankful that I can feel the pain in my shins and foot (I have a paraplegic friend). I am thankful I can afford to make the decision about whether or not to have laser eye surgery.
Unsanitary. Pooping in my kitchen. Terrorizing my dogs. Belongs outside.Quote:

Thursday gratitude
1. Training classes at locations close to home
2. Being able to ride outside today w/no fear of ice (cold as a witch's youknowhat but blessedly dry)
3. My swiss ball standing up to Fiona's teeth and the fact that I had a spare plug for it, since she must have eaten the original.
VB - Wasn't today your last long commute day? If so, congrats;)
I'm thankful that the partner from *&$% has finally left the building and won't be back until Monday!
I'm glad BF bought me a pineapple. Now, if he'll just peel it for me, life will be complete :rolleyes:
I'm thankful for giving myself permission to take a day off.
Thankful I have one dog sleeping at my feet and another sleeping on her"princess pillow".
Just looking at them makes me smile.
I'm thankful I have a CLE today, and don't have to head into the office.
I'm thankful we have 1 week and 2 days until Daylight Savings time begins. Yes, it will be dark in the mornings, but my friend the sun will still be there to greet met when I leave work at the end of a long day (at least most days!).
Happy leap day all!

Friday's Gratitude
The obvious---TGIF!!!
Today was my FINAL commute all that way (20 miles) out to Herndon
Today was my FINAL day in the assignment that has been a bad match for me
This morning's ride was OUTSIDE where it was cold but ice-free (got to see Diablo, the local coyote, too)
I finally OD'ed on jelly beans, so I won't crave them until next Easter
I'm thankful today that I had MY FIRST FLAT... at home! And, I was able to easily find the problem.
Now I get to go to the LBS and replace my tire, which has a great big hole in it.
Which brings me to ... I'm thankful I get to go to LBS and SHOP!
I'm thankful, too, for my faithful dog by my side all afternoon.
I'm thankful for a good hard ride, and for my wonderful acupuncture doctor.
