I am grateful for friends. I have a lot of friends who I know in real life but I am also blessed to have some really great relationships with people I have never met thanks to the internet. It may be hard to believe but I’ve had some of the best conversations with folks on Twitter.

I am grateful for this morning’s run powered by coffee and the Spotify playlist “Indie Kicks 150-155 BPM” which helped to make 5.5 miles feel almost effortless. It was only two and a half years ago that 90 seconds of running led to feeling like I might fall over dead.

I am grateful for honeycrisp apples which have become my healthy snack. They are so very sweet and delicious and I feel zero guilt about them as a treat.
