Today was a day for soup.

It was a day of sunshine through my windows and onto my puppies paws as he nudged me gently, requesting a tummy rub.

Today was a day for a morning run, a mixture of rain and blue skies.

Today was a day for admiration of my arms as I lowered myself into just ONE MORE plank/chaturanga/upward dog.

Today was a day for kitchen cleaning followed by the aromatic combination of carrots, onions and garlic, swirled into the most delicious of concoctions.

Today was a day of acknowledgement that all that I am is enough.

Today was a day of once again realizing how blessed I am.

Today was a day I saw that the people that surround me at this place I call work are incredibly kind, genuine and loving. The kind of people you would expect to work at a children’s hospital.

Today was a day of nostalgia, self respect and perhaps a little bit of fear over this honesty I have vowed to take for 2012.

Today was a day of recognition that I may not always get what I want, when I want it, the way I want it… but at least I have put it all out there—no one can say I didn’t try.

Today was a day I will deem a success.
