It’s been an amazing week here. Busy, productive, slightly cooler temperatures (my apologies if you are anywhere other than California right now). My running has been fun, my running companion (a taunting crow, if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll already know this haha) has been very motivating, and the writing and editing have been COOKING along!

Happy kiddos, happy Lara, happy me.

Liesl is a little discouraged. For a small dog, she certainly manages to take over our king size bed. So, we’ve been training her to use her dog bed. She dislikes this. 2:00 a.m. rolls around, and she makes her move.

Okay, truthfully, she makes her move sometime after we have fallen asleep. At 2:00 a.m. I start shifting around and wonder why my pillow is so hairy. 🙂

I’ve just been thinking about how much I have that gives rise to gratitude. Every time I look around, I’m feeling it. How about you? What are you thankful for today?

Feel free to share in the comments, or send me a tweet. Let’s get a #gratitude chain going and let it build.

Blessings to you all…

It’s really her bed – not ours. 🙂
