Welcome to my weekly Thankful Monday post.

Things are a little stressful at work today but I’m going to try to remember to be mindful and grateful for a good life so here’s my top 5 for today:

1. I’m thankful for 7 years together and 1 year of marriage with my wonderful husband.  He is a good man and strives to make me happy.  He also makes me strive to be a better person and treats me right.  We celebrated our 7 years anniversary and 1 year of marriage on Saturday and Sunday respectively and the occasion makes me so grateful for our time together and hopeful for our future together.
2. I’m thankful for lovely weather this weekend.  We were able to spend alot of time outside and get alot done on our house and condo.  I love getting my Vitamin D!
3. I’m thankful for reunions.  My friend Cris was in town this weekend and I hadn’t seen her since February so it was wonderful to spend time with her and my other friends after a long week of work.
4. I’m thankful for another opportunity to run the Charlottesville Women’s 4 Miler .  Every year, the race gets harder and harder to get into.  This year, race registration was full in 5 hours so I’m thankful that my alarm clock woke me up so I could register at 5 AM and I’m glad I got in.  This will be my 6th year in a row to run the race!
5. I’m thankful for technology.  I was able to share pictures of our new house with friends and family all over the country by simply taking pictures with my phone and posting them to Facebook.  We live in a wonderful age where you can still be so close to the ones you love even when they are far away.

Have a wonderful week!

P.S.  I already feel better after writing this post! 😉
