Fifty things :)

I need to get to bed. I've been running on little sleep and working a lot this week. But here's 50 positive/optimistic thoughts :)


1. I've been limping around due to a stress fracture on my foot, but at least it will heal at some point and I still have both of my feet and legs.
2. I won't be running until it heals, so I'll find other ways to stay in shape.
3. Hot nannys ;)
4. Taking the kids to the pool
5. How refreshing the water feels on such hot and humid days
6. I got a paycheck today.
7. Beautiful smiles
8. My favorite thing lately is saying good morning to strangers.
9. One of these days Drew is going to play "King of Anything" on the piano and I'm going to sing.

11. Roommate Skype sesh with Meg and her sister
12. I have a roof over my head.
