Today I'm grateful for Susan B. Anthony's.

Today was the last game for my draft team the Susan B. Anthony's B-Makin'-it-Rain. This was the first team I drafted and one of the best teams I've played with. We stayed positive and cheerful even when we lost and really grew as individual players and as a team. Such a great season and with wonderful teammates.

Today I'm grateful for naps.

My body was just exhausted from a very fun long weekend. I managed to get through most of work but left early to take a nap. I slept for four hours felt much more refreshed. I'm grateful for flexible and compassionate co-workers, who are willing to pick up my sleepy slack.

Today I'm grateful for limoncello.

I purchased some limoncello impulsively a few weeks ago and I finally drank some of it tonight for a friend's birthday. For me limoncello has positive connotations of summer, sun, Italy, and the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. I was so inspired that I looked up recipes and might make my own batch. Cheers to a good night!

Today I'm grateful for Ski to Sea.

Ski to Sea is a race that a group of friends and I have been doing since 2008--so this year was our seventh year competing! I did the kayak leg this time around and while I should have trained at least a little, I had a lot of fun racing and being part of a team. I enjoy this annual tradition with this group and hope we continue to do it for years to come.

Today I'm grateful for exploring.

A large group of friends and I are staying in a house during our annual Ski to Sea weekend and I had time yesterday and today to do some exploring. I took a book and just wandered around the neighborhood. I found all kinds of cool places and beautiful views!

Today I'm grateful for AAA.

I got in my car this morning to drive to Portland and my battery was totally dead. I recently purchased AAA as a precaution and I'm so grateful I did! They came out and gave me a jump and I was on the road less than an hour behind schedule. Just this one experience was well worth paying for a year long membership.

Today I'm grateful for documentaries.

Documentaries aren't my typical go to genre, but I watched one this evening as part of a work event. I found this one, and most other documentaries I've seen, to be at times challenging to watch but also incredibly thought provoking. I left feeling kind of heavy but also grateful to be exposed to important issues.
