I'm feeling nostalgic tonight. Or maybe just grateful for my life and the people in it. I'm grateful for Rose and Barb who encourage me to run faster. I'm grateful for Brie, Cassi and Karen who have gone from girls I hoped to teach something to women I learn from. I'm grateful for Christie who loves Seb and truly misses him when he is absent from school. I am grateful for Connie who loves my (loud, stinky, unruly, difficult and untameable) family. I am grateful for my Mom for teaching me generosity. I am grateful for my siblings who keep me from getting a big head.

I am grateful for Kris, Cyndi, and Loretta for teaching me to let my hair down. I am grateful for Christine, Naomi, Hileary, and Melanie for sharing good books and crazy lives with me. I am grateful for Tami, Carolynn, Hilary and Renee who remind me to slow down and truly enjoy my kids. I am grateful for Kellie who makes me laugh (from a distance).

I am grateful for my God who has blessed me with so many people to share my life with and to learn from.

You are so sweet. It's always good to look around and take stock once in awhile. You know, before the next wave hits and you are ready to run away. ;)

You are a blessing to me in return! It is nice to keep track of those things.

I am so grateful for you too. Without you I don't know that I would be the woman I am today.
