Things to be grateful for on a dreary June day…

• Finally getting officially fired laid off.
• Having meetings on the UW Campus, working with intelligent, critical thinkers
• Starting the day with a quick hello to a good friend
• Sneaking up to see the view from Van Hise
• Lots of social outings in the works
• All the coffee shops on State Street
• oatmeal with 2tsps of peanut butter mixed in for breakfast
• the free weights that Diene keeps (and that inspired me to work out last night)
• a thoughtful check-in call yesterday at noon from someone I’d forgotten I told about it all
• still loving my new business cards, feeling happy each time I give one out
• Pardeeville Triathlon dreams (plans?)
• positive vibes working with an awesome editor
• the time and space needed to find some clarity
• accrued sick days
• Marquette Riverfront Festival this weekend
