Today I took a run outside with Hoss and it was just what I needed. After a very long day a work, a teachers meeting, and track practice we got home in time for me to get a run in. Nathan and I usually run together but today I needed some Erin(and Hoss!) time. It was so nice being outside, hearing the birds chirping, the water running(we have had LOTS of rain) and the feet hitting the pavement- it really is one of my favorite things. As I posted a week or so ago, I have been going through some tough things lately, but a running seems to take away all of the worries and stresses for the thirty minutes that I am out there. I was so thankful that I went!!
Today on my run, I thought about Lent starting today and the amazing sacrifice God made for us. I did some thinking about what I was going to do for Lent this year, instead of 'giving something up' I am going to add thankful reflection time into my day. I am going to do 40 days of Thanks. I can't wait to show it to you when I am finished. With all that has been going on I often times forget to reflect on all of the wonderful blessings that surround Nathan and I.
After my run, Nathan grilled steaks(yummm) and mom fixed veggies(delicious) and we enjoyed a nice peacefull at home dinner. Now its time to enjoy some American Idol- I probably wont make it too long but I can at least try. night all
