grateful: week 20.

inspired by my reading of the happiness project by gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.

the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:

1) the return of college football (and an irish victory)!

2) work was much improved (and slowed to a normal pace), after last week's hot mess.

3) despite cold and rain, a 3-day weekend in pure michigan at the family cottage for summer's last hurrah: mackinac island, boating (in sweatshirts and jeans!), good food, family, and the bf!
