Bright and early this morning, I opened the front door to leave for work and….

…this cute little guy was sunbathing on my front porch* and I’d obviously woken him up. As I debated opening the glass storm door, he was clearly debating whether or not he was going to have to move. When I swung the storm door open, he scurried about three feet away and promptly plopped down on my landscaping bricks and went back to sleep. The hour was early, the sun was warm, and the little fella was tired.

Today I was grateful for:

1.) *Starting my Monday with a good laugh, courtesy of Mother Nature.
2.) Cardinals sweeping the Cubs (I never said these gratitude lists were going to have depth.)
3.) A much-needed rest day in my training.
4.) Enjoying some quality silence and solitude.
5.) A 30-minute rain shower that watered my plants for me.
