Thanks.

I sat down to write a post about this past weekend (Thanksgiving weekend), about how it was filled with so many reasons to be thankful… and while this is so soo true (it was a great weekend), I can’t seem to get it to come out of my brain, through my fingertips, into any sort of sensical writing.

So, instead, here is a list of just a few of the things that made me feel all warm and fuzzy this weekend…

• Sunny fall weather.
• Evenings filled with wedding dresses and race expos.
• A quiet pool and swim lanes all to myself.
• Solo bike rides with the colourful leaves falling all around me.
• Red Barn wraps and chocolate milk.
• Marathon weekend in Victoria.
  All of it. The cheering. The smiles at the finish lines. The grimaces. The determination.
• Awesome friends.
• Witnessing Justin rock his first half marathon.
• Apple fritters and americanos.
• Seeing Kirsten grit out another marathon when her legs decided to fail her ~ and getting to run with her for the last few kms and think that maybe, I helped distract her, even just for a second, from the pain.
• The return of The Walking Dead.
• Sleeping in and lazing around the house.
• De-slugging and portaging canoes.
• Family dinners.
• Apple crisp and tofurkey.
• Comfy pants.
• Gummy candies.
• Cuddles with the pup.
• Family.
  All of them. Shane. Rusty. Mom. Dad. Kirsten. Tyler. Grandma(s). Aunts. Uncles. Cousins.
