Catching the Worm

Don't sign me up for early bird specials with the senior crowd at Luby's just yet, but hitting the hay @ 10pm last night was awesome.  I don't know why I was tired enough to sleep, but I decided that rather than getting in a different chair to really get comfortable, why not just go lay down in bed and see what happens.  5:35 AM and I am wide awake.  I lace up the kicks, put on the shorts and safety light and go for a run.  OK, it took me about 15 minutes to get out the door, then I stretched, and then I started running.  So that's where I a begin.  Today, I am grateful for:
  • The run into the sunrise as I round the corner on the home stretch for the last 1.5 miles. 
  • Hearing the geese call as they come back for spring.  It's too dark to see them but they fly through the low clouds and in the dark with utter confidence.  It gives me cause to ponder the metaphor that can server for me.
  • Friends and family continuing to help with the house hunt.
  • A spontaneous dinner before 5pm with Kristina at our favorite El Salvadoran restaurant: Gloria's
  • Getting my outlook inbox down to 3 items!
  • My Little Sister starting out small with her glog.  I know she's only 2 days away from feeling the positive affect of gratitude.
  • My mother-in-law Peg and all the helpful advice with Real Estate
  • Working Remotely
  • The chance to ride this afternoon.
  • A new face in the glogosphere.
  • You
