Another list of things that I am thankful for...

1.  I am SO SO SO SO SO thankful that today was the last day of work until the 28th!  HELLO BIG perk of working for the school system... LOTS of breaks!

2. I am thankful that I have learned to push myself at the gym.  My mantra is this: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR A MINUTE.  I went to the gym this evening (on my rest day, might I add) and set out to do 45 minutes on the stairclimber.  I am acutely aware that 45 minutes of anything at the gym is a long time, let along the stairclimber.  BUT, I love it.  At minute 30, I was so ready to throw in the towel (literally and figuratively) but I said, out loud, "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR A MINUTE" and I kept going.  I took it one minute at a time.  I made it the full 45 minute and felt like an absolute CHAMPION when I was done.

3. I am thankful for nights like tonight when I have NO obligations and get to be at home and in bed at a time that most of my students are in bed.

Yup... that's all for now.  I am a thankful lady. :)
