Appreciating the Small Things

Kenyon Boys (And missing those not pictured)

• Waking up on Saturdays to no alarm
• Having Saturday plans
• Friends and traveling 2 hours into the city for a 2-hour bonding session and 2 hours back and knowing I'd do it again
• Instagram for making memories look good
• Facebook for sharing memories and roping others into them
• Blog readers who keep me motivated to share
• CNN for expanding my TV watching to 4 total channels (HBO, ESPN and sometimes NBC)
• The mini-gym 3 minutes walking from my apartment (mini gym has literally 4 machines, but they happen to be the only 4 machines I have ever and likely will ever use - treadmill, bike, elliptical, and something for me to pretend to do arms on)
• That the sun is coming out as I write this
• That it was raining previously, so that I can now appreciate the sun
• That the CEO, who I was certain hated me, said hi to me twice on Thursday and once on Friday.  He still might hate me, but he said hi and somehow I'm acknowledging my appreciation of this 
• That I will get judged by other people I appreciate for the previous bullet point (what's that term....Stockholm Syndrome???)
• Feeling at peace... if only for this very minute
