What has made you happy today? (Page 5)

I was able to wralk (jog/walk) without pain for the first time in over 2 months

that I got in the pool today and did my workout....and was sorta fast!
...and still giddy about running 4 miles w/o stopping, twice!

I woke up, played 18 holes of golf before work (from 6 -8 am), its my day off working out, and I'm gonna bbq and swim with my 5 and 3 years olds tonight. A perfect day (if you take work out of it).

I had my last workouts before Saturday's race!

This.. My granddaughter

Me too...riding 40 after work on group ride...hills hills hills.

I got up early (which is rare) to run an hour and 20 min.  And I just got my first pedicure of the year.  It was awesome (and well deserved I might add).

My 2 and 3 yr. old daughters are playing nicely together allowing me to
sit on here for more than 30 seconds.

Just Found out my daughter is pregnant again. Grandchild #3 in the oven.

My 4-yr old son said to me this morning, "Papa, when I get older, can I do triathlons with you?"

Also, with the help of Socks, I found a new Sports Med doctor who will hopefully help me fix all of my injury issues and ensure that I can run as many tris with my son as he wants for as long as he wants.

Sleeping in. Easy drive to work. Anticipating a long ride tommorow. Renting a movie tonight.

Playing with my kids at the pool today

A nice cup of hot, delicous coffee and a good letter from my sister.

Two things:

1. Got to give a speech about how Dara Torres inspires me last night & won best speaker with it.
2. Found this great video about a guy who swims without arms or legs! 
   

It's a great day!

This is such a great thread.

Off topic... but are you a Toastmaster ? =)

A lot has me down lately. I can't train, I'm in serious discomfort/pain, and for one of the few times in my life I WANT to go to the ER. My job search is not going well, nor is my Adult Furniture search. My fabulous new apartment is a wreck, and I'm too d@mn hurt/tired/bummed to deal with it.

So back to basics:
I have a job. I have a decent job that pays the bills. I can pay every single one of my bills, on time, every month. And I can even save a little here and there, which was unheard of last year.

My life is a thousand and three times better than it was a year and a month ago. I found the strength to leave an emotionally abusive relationship, and I am back to being someone I love and want to be around. I am an incredibly cool person, with a lot of gifts and strengths, and I love that I can recognize that and allow those to come forward.

I have an incredible support network. My best friend drives me nuts, but she would do anything for me, and I would do anything for her. I have incredible parents whom I love, enjoy spending time with, and who drive me nuts in only the way parents can, that lets you know how much they care.

I have parents whom I love, and who love me. With most of my family and friends in the business of mopping up after complete parental failures (kid therapy/adjudicated youth), I do not forget for one minute how amazingly blessed I am to have the parents I do. It was worth stating twice.

Finally, I am happy that I can step back and recognize all of this. I have the power to be happy, and I'm taking it!
