Things that make me happy

This  morning's trail run at Fort Davis National Historic Site

The view from the top of  my trail run, 300 feet above the trailhead

Finally, finally we're 10 trail directors strong!



Though we're more than a week from Thanksgiving, there are many thing for which I'm thankful, and things that make me very happy:

Living in a beautiful place, where I can catch a Sunday morning trail run in the mountains

A terrific Thanksgiving, where cooking and working out were equally important and equally fun (mountain biking!)

The trail program is 10 directors strong!

The thing that helps me sleep also makes me happy...my ipod loaded up with podcasts like NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour  (thoughtful and joyful commentary), the Tobolowsky Files (at times, truly extrordinary storytelling), New York Times Review of Books, Two Gomers Run a Marathon  ("Dude!" Two goofy guys set running goals and report on them.  Very goofy guys.)


A thoughtful partner who looks for opportunities to make the everyday special...who offered to set a table for two on my patio, and with an old family picnic tablecloth, thank you (and Happy Birthday!)
