Day 3 ish

I know...it is technically day 4, but by brain shut off yesterday and so did my motivation! Sundays are my down day. Woke up, went to church and relaxed pretty much all day!! Went to see the new Soul Surfer movie and ended the night with YogurtLand! It was a glorious day.

So I here I sit at the beginning of the week. It is Monday again and I am not much different than other people, my Monday's usually pack quite a punch! So before my Monday gets started, here are my five things from yesterday.

1. I am thankful for low key Sundays! Days that I can relax, catch up on rest and on the many other things that I neglected to do during the week.

2. I am thankful for struggles. I know, sounds a little backwards, but I am thankful for struggles. I have learned more and more over the past years that struggle produces growth. And in those times of growth I have found renewed energy, renewed passion and strength.

3. I am grateful for the underdog and upsets!! I know, you can tell that I work in college athletics. I love sports for the pure and simple fact that anyone can win on any given day. That is the beauty of the NCAA March Madness. Side note, I did correctly pick the NCAA Men's National Champion! Yeah UCONN!! Gold star for me!
I love underdog stories.....they give us hope. They give us vision and encouragement when we all face giants in our life!

4. I am grateful for morning where I don't have to rush. Where I can make breakfast and enjoy a couple cups of coffee!

5. Last, but definitely not least, I am thankful for my ten fingers and my ten toes. I spent the weekend working with the National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament here in Denver. I was surrounded my some of the most elite athletes! Despite physical hardships, they have a competitive spirit and play with such soul. I am humbled every time I work with this group of individuals. They are phenomenal! I am so grateful for opportunities like this that help me readjust my perspective. That allow me to work with different populations!

Happy Monday everyone....go drink another cup of coffee!
