Tried to give myself the day off to rest after all the action the past few and it backfired on me :-( I’m hurting more now than I was this AM so it’s making me think about things in a whole different way.

Today I Am Grateful:

1) that it’s the last day of school for my boys until Tuesday, they have a four day weekend now between teacher institute and MLK Day Monday – lots of time to play a few games and spend some non-computer time together :-)

2) even though I’m hurting for it – I’m grateful for the time spent relaxing today, mentally I needed it.

3) for yesterday’s interview still – that’s how good I feel about it.

4) for an oldie but a goodie – books! Can never get enough of them!

5) for discovering I can tame my sweet tooth! 1/4 of a regular Hershey’s bar hit the spot for me tonight :-)
