friday five: five good things

April 4, 2015      15 Comments

Actually, it’s kind of like the Lego Movie. It’s Friday Five! But on a Saturday!

Another Friday! And that means we are linking up for the Friday Five, with three amazing DC area bloggers: Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC.  Feel free to join the fun with your own Friday Five post and be sure to visit and comment on the other blogs on the linkup!

Our topic for this week is Five Good Things.

1. This guy.

Even though he’s a Jets fan, I’m darn grateful to have met him all those years ago at the bar at Bru’s. I know I totally get on his nerves (a lot), but we make a pretty good team and there’s no one with whom I would rather be on this journey of life.

2. This guy.

There are no words for how much I love him. He hung the stars in my sky. I can’t remember my world before him.

3. These guys.

I absolutely adore animals, especially ones with smushy faces. If we could, I would have an entire ranch of pugs and bullies and boxers and bostons. We are hopeful to add to our family of bagel-tailed cuties sometime this summer. Fingers crossed.

4. Friends and family.

Obviously, not all pictured.

We are so fortunate to be surrounded by so much love and support, every day.

5. Our life.

I know it sounds hokey, but it’s true. I wouldn’t trade our life for anything. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours.

 

Tell me five good things this weekend. Share in the comments or create your own blog post. Please sure to join in the linkup!

    Awww this is the sweetest!

    I actually like number 5 the most only because how often do we truly step back and appreciate how good things are at the end of the day?

      I hate to be cheesy, but … I think so many times we do tend to focus on the negatives and what we don’t have. And I’m grateful, every day, for what we do.

    Being a major family person myself, I love that your good things were all about your family! My sons and daughter-in-law were here for Easter dinner, and I can’t tell you how much fun we have when we all get together!

    You definitely have a lot of things to be thankful for! My list would be really similar to yours except subtract 1 dog and add 1 kid. LOL

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

Today’s cultivation brought to you by some windy miles. I started a little later than i wanted, but tomorrow’s another day.

Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk but I didn’t post. I’m still just mentally drained, but I got up today and tried to make a strong start of it.

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Anyone else just forging ahead as needed? We’ve got this!

Here’s to the first medal of the year! And here’s to so many more!

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
