Grateful Monday

To start my week off on a positive note, here are five things I'm grateful for~

• We had a lovely weekend.  We spent time at my family reunion and yesterday evening at an outdoor concert with many of our friends.

Liam thoroughly enjoyed the show!

He also enjoyed some time with his buddy Cecelia

• I am also grateful for the people who tell me that it's okay if I don't work on my dissertation every day.  Sometimes I need help to shed the guilt and stop feeling like I'm not doing enough.
• I ran 7 miles on Saturday.  This was a major milestone for me as I train for my 10 mile race.  I felt amazing on this run too.  That always helps.
• Loving the cooler temps.  Hello fall!
• Also loving my days at home spent with Liam.  As tough as it is sometimes, I know that I'm blessed and I treasure our days.  Here's a little glimpse of our morning spent outside.  We had ourselves a music jam on the deck.  The boy loves his drums!

Have a wonderful week!
