Yesterday, I was grateful for my frozen water bottles. I was grateful for the awesome abs class at the gym. I was grateful that I got to drive my mom to the airport.

- The sudden influx of ripe tomatoes that blessed my garden.
- The emotional and physical strength I summoned to get through my first spinning class (wherein I had to listen to love songs for an hour straight).
- My sense of humor.
