November days 2 and 3

November 2nd: why am I thankful?

I am thankful for my friends.  I have some great friends who I have known since I was 2, ranging to new friends that I have made in the past few months.  Friends play a role that your family could never play and they are so important.  My friends make my life feel more full.  I love watching them get married, have children and do interesting things with their lives.  I love having a handful of people who I can call anytime and know that they love me because they want to and not because they have to (as family does.)

Last night I wasn't able to post this because we went to San Diego to meet a bunch of friends and go for a run. Which brings me to November 3rd....

November 3rd: why am I thankful?  I am thankful for my body.  With all of the health problems impending in my future, I have realized that I need to be good to my body and appreciate the way it functions.  I am thankful that I can run because my legs and knees don't hurt.  I'm grateful that my heart is strong and can pump my blood and that my lungs work right so I can breathe.  I'm grateful for more than just being able to run though.  I'm so incredibly thankful that I could carry and birth my babies.  I'm just so grateful for every little part of my body.  Right now, I am healthy and I am not going to take that for granted.  Pictures of the Color Run to come soon!
