1. Phone calls from my 5 year old boyfriend Henry. This is Henry.

2. Dancing to CTY canon. Every summer, I work for the Center for Talented Youth, which gives smart middle school and high school students an opportunity to take classes and live in a residential community.

3. Spending time with my history buddies in DC.

4. Good meals with my family. This was dinner with my family after I graduated from Holy Cross.

5. Wonderful runs. I'm sure that wasn't surprising to anyone.

6. Working on medieval history stuff. This was me presenting my senior thesis at Holy Cross - one of the happiest days of my academic career. The woman next to me, Professor Lorraine Attreed was my adviser, and now is my mentor. We still write to each other often, and she is still an important person in my life.

7. Anything to do with Holy Cross (my alma mater).

8. Maintaining old friendships.

9. Coffee. I didn't start drinking coffee until a few years ago, but man, nowadays I can't really start a day (or run) without it. That's a picture of me running a staff meeting at CTY, with coffee right on hand, of course.

10. Quality time with the family. I went home for the weekend, and while we haven't done much, it has just been excellent spending time with them. Definitely worth the trip.

Oh, coffee in the morning before anyone else is up, and the house is quiet. How could I forget that one?!
ReplyDeleteWent out for a nice—surprisingly quick—10K today. Let's put it this way: my training run was actually faster than my Turkey trot—yikes!
Love your list, love the pics!
