    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!

    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 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'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 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 . And all the support and laughter I find on TE and for my family.

    Well, off to sweep up dust in the kitchen.

    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!

    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

    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 am grateful today that I have some really great colleagues. Man, does that make a difference in your day.

    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.
