Three Things Thursday: Faith, Hope, Love

This Thursday I'm giving thanks for three little words:

Faith - in this holiday season, I'm thankful that I can celebrate the real reason for Christmas.

Hope - after a great run with almost zero pain yesterday (and minimal pain after/this morning), I'm hopeful that I'm on the mend.

Love - I'm eternally thankful for the people in my life who love me unconditionally, pick me up when I'm feeling down, encourage me and support me every day. You all know who you are and my life wouldn't be the same without you.

What are you thankful for today?

Gratitude

The all-powerful dictionary know as Google defines "gratitude" as "The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and return kindness".

It's no secret (if you've been on my blog lately) that I'm struggling - both with an injury that's keeping me from running and with unhappiness about the fact that all my clothes appear to have shrunk.  However, I know I have so many friends in my corner and for them I am eternally grateful.  They point out the positives (like spaghetti dinner and Black Bear Ale with friends) or they give me a reality check and say "don't make me -_- at you today".

I know I don't show my appreciation for them as much as I should, but I hope they know how much I love and cherish them.
