Finding the upside, even when it's feverish

Okay! Top 3’s for Tuesday and Wednesday.

 4/23/13

Tuesday I was grateful to have a fantastic hilarious roommate that I can share so many laughs with. I love that we love and embrace each other’s crazy. Sometimes we even encourage it. I was also so excited that my soccer team had their first win, even though I was in bed asleep when it happened. Lastly, I’m happy to see my own growth. Tuesday I could feel a cold coming on, and by late afternoon, I was wishing for my bed. A few years ago I would have dosed myself with cold meds and went to my 9pm soccer game anyway. I would have refused to take any time off, and been sicker for longer. Instead, I was in bed by 8pm, and although Wednesday didn’t show it, I know it was the right decision. I’m about 50% back to normal, and I know that’s because I took the time my body needed, instead of pushing through.

Wednesday, I was even sicker then Tuesday. So I was glad to have a job where I can take time off when I need it. Where it is encouraged not to come in when you’re sick. Actually encouraged, not just something that’s said, but actually counted against you later. My boss has called in sick with a lot more frequency than I have. This was actually my first sick day, and it was painful to break that perfect record. I’m also happy to have an adorable pup to hang with me all day and a roommate that’s not afraid to go with me to get Jamba Juice since “those germs don’t work on me, I’m a nurse”.

I did not take any pictures yesterday, so here are some pictures that Bentley wanted you to see.

Hello Friends!

At some point I’ve stopped making this blog a priority; which makes me sad, because I really enjoy writing it. It’s partly because I’ve gotten so busy at work and partly because I become overwhelmed by all the things I want to say, so then I end up saying nothing.

 Life keeps flying by and it’s short and it’s fragile and I want something tangible that I can hold on to, that hopefully contains more thought and reflection than a facebook feed or twitter hashtags.

I’ve always made a point for this blog to be about looking at all the positives in life, and ignoring or changing the negatives. In the spirit of that and also of just getting back into the habit, I’m going to try and post top 3’s for every day, just something short and sweet about every day. Hopefully they will get me back into the habit, and I’ll start making time to write more as the mood strikes me.

On Sunday I appreciated a beautiful Sunset, got to meet my adorable new cousin, and also spent some quality time with the handsomest man I know.

Monday I was grateful for my health and the beautiful city that I live in. After everything that happened in Boston, I’m all the more grateful for the release and happiness that I am able to get by running. I have a renewed appreciation for the ability to put on some running shoes and take off for some solo miles. WIth a half marathon in 9 short weeks, there will be lots of miles to post about in the coming weeks!
