Feeling Grateful Again

1. A whole hour for lunch. That's a lot of facebook, blogstalking, and celebrity news. I mean exercising, homework and service.

Friday Five

1. A light in the window. I know that I'm always welcome at my home.

2. A husband who will hold me while I cry. And get up early and make my breakfast and lunch. And fix my tire.

3. The gospel. Isn't it such good news?

4. Sisters. I can't wait to see them tonight!

5. Soup at the Student Union. I've only tried the corn chowder, but it was good. And cheap.

Happy Friday!

Five for Tuesday

1. Gum. I first came to appreciate, really appreciate gum when I was at the hospital, pregnant with triplets, in labor, and couldn't eat or drink anything. For TWO days. You don't tell a pregnant woman not to eat or drink for 2 days. A lady in my ward mailed me a pack of gum, and, after getting special permission from my doctor, I had a stick. H.E.A.V.E.N. I also appreciated it this morning on the bus. I don't want to be the stinky one on the bus.

2. The BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS project I've been working on at work for the last few months is OVER. Done. Completed THIS MORNING. Such a relief! My next BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS project? Cleaning off my desk.

3. Running. I love it. It's so freeing. And I love having a healthy body that can do it.

4. An ankle that is 100% healed. Plus some: I got an extra inch of bone growing in there. That means my ankle is REALLY strong now, right?

5. Fresh vegetables. I mourn the end of summer for that reason. But only for that reason.
