Thankful

I want to take one night to write about something that is completely unrelated to running, health, fitness or nutrition. I want to take this one blog entry to say how thankful I am for my fabulous friends, family, students, and of course my husband. They have all made this birthday the best ever.

Today at work, I realized that event though my students may drive me crazy, they really do love me. I had several birthday cakes, homemade cookies, cards, notes, and even a gift card to the local veggie juice bar. I received one of the most heartfelt notes from student who told me how much he appreciated how loving and happy I always am. And that’s why I call  you Mama T-Rod, he said. Liz, the owner of the juice bar, gave me the gift of a delicious Hulk it Up with an extra shot of wheatgrass for free and I received the sweetest messages from my friends. Mario has gone above and beyond to make this birthday extra special and I look forward to celebrating Saturday night with my parents, my sister, and the best friends ever. I love birthdays. 🙂

Thank you everyone for the birthday love! Here is to an exciting new decade!

A delicious cake from Katherine… one of several homemade cakes today.
