My Happy Thoughts

I usually post a series of happy thoughts into my Facebook status every morning - things that remind me of why I love life. I realized last night, that there is going to be no record of all those thoughts, so I am going to start posting them here in my blog. Here's a few of my recent thoughts going back to Sept 1, 2010:

9/1 1. Instructional Techniques Lunch N Learn went well yesterday, 2. Had an awesome workout last night and got rid of a lot of stress! (treadmill, good speed, varying inclines and free weights) and 3. looking forward to a road trip this weekend to see the BFF Michelle Luce!! Can't wait!!!

9/7 Mornin' ya'll! Welcome back from the long weekend! My happy thoughts today ... 1. reminded of God's perfect grace from the simple words of a child this weekend, 2. pounds continue to drop - 5.5 so far in 12 days & 3. it is so good to get away from your every day surroundings and take a minute to relish what you have ...and who is part of your life. Makes it all that much more precious!! Have a great Tuesday!!
