1. Recognizing that a lack of gratitude is unhealthy. Sure I think of things here and there, but the act of taking the time to sit and make lists is incredibly important.

2. A surprise showing up in the mail…A book with no note telling me who it’s from! I’m pretty sure that I know, though!!! It brought smiles, tears, and a little bit of jumping up and down. :)

3. Playing games with Logan

4. Autumn in Ohio

5. Riding my bike…I’ve been riding so much lately, and I love it more than ever. <3

6. Logan and I rode to the bike shop today and had a speedometer/odometer put on, so I know how fast and how far I'm going.

7. There is a frost warning so we picked the last of the cayenne peppers and the bell peppers.

8. Last week we went apple picking and Logan and I canned applesauce and we're looking forward to doing another batch this week. I love spending time with him!

9. Accepting the fact that growing is sometimes painful…and being patient with myself and others.

10. The Beatles!!!
