Grateful Monday
Monday….manic, maven, mundane…whatever you choose, be grateful you lived another week to see another Monday!
This Monday I am grateful for/to/because:
1.) The wicked virus that knocked me flat last week is losing its grip on me.
2.) I woke up to the best coffee this morning…it is local, too! Las Chicas Del Cafe coffee, Don Rey’s private reserve Viennese Roast was brought home by my 18 year old from her work (Remark Fresh Market…oh how I love you too, Remark!) and it is delicious!
3.) I was inspired endlessly by my students yesterday. Something shifted in class and we all saw our intent magnified.
4.) I have a nicely paced week ahead of me this week and it really does seem manageable.
5.) Our little group of birth warriors and guardians of breastfeeding enjoyed the Babies, Tots and You show yesterday.
6.) I was not home as the whole student council from Banting High School gathered at my house and ate all of the baking I had done (for them!) on Saturday. You would have never known there were 24 teenagers in my house by the time I got home.
7.) The fact the sun will come out today is marvelous.
8.) I am savouring every page of my current novel. I am giddy with the prospect of the next novel I will read: The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay is released next week….eeeeekkkk!
9.) Heavier sweaters will warm me over the next chilly months.
10.) Indoor soccer starts next week!
11.) There is spice everywhere. Just look.
12.) My fur boy turns six today. Although he drives me crazy I could not live without his love. Sick, fevered and miserable last week, he curled into the back of my legs, accompanied me to the bathroom and snuggled into my back when it hurt.
Please share with us in this space what you are grateful for on this soon to be sunny Monday. We really do want to know.
With much love,
Carol xoxo

Grateful Monday
My body for carrying me (and my children) through life and sending me messages when I over do it.
I am grateful as I always read these posts and always think about what I am grateful for, but today I write it down….
1) For the warm, albeit slightly windy day, walk in the park with my little girl.
2) For the adventures that are to come in my life
3) The fabulous women I have met in the last 6 weeks, who love, support and care for others in ways that are immeasurable
4) A family who loves me.
5) A husband who loves me despite crazy behavior.
6) I am especially grateful for my mind – who keeps reading about indoor soccer and wonders if its a sign that its an activity I should participate in! I used to play!!
7) The strength I can find within, when I need it.
9) Very grateful that my best friend continues to be cancer free!!
10) To the possibilities for the future and for meeting others who inspire these changes within me.
