Dear Monday v.26

Linking up with Megan for

Dear Monday, Thank you for being the most gorgeous weather possible in Central Texas: sunny at 60-80º. Please stay like this forever.

Dear Friday Night, The last time I had a girls' night for "no" reason was far too long ago. Thank you to Cathy who surprised me by paying for our pedicures! Your compassion knows no bounds.

Dear Bearathon runners, You're so inspirational! Having run two half marathons myself (one being a great experience, the other ultimately forcing me to have emergency surgery), it was a blast to watch you push yourselves to the limit. Special shout-outs to Jessica, Megan J., Megan H. and her mama, Natalie, and Nora who are total badasses!

Dear Mother Nature, Saturday's afternoon sky was almost exactly how I picture it in my mind: gorgeous, with fluffy clouds and perfect weather. God's beauty shows up so often that sometimes I forget to appreciate it, so thank you!

Dear Writing Log, I am dominating you! This is probably not cool for anybody who isn't a graduate student, but for someone who always thought her productivity needed a push, you were exactly the tool to help.

Dear neon pink Target sports bra, You're amazing. I don't think I've smiled so much while wearing an article of clothing! You make me want to run every day just as an excuse to wear you.

Dear Nick, A week without you has been rough, to say the least. Hope you know I still carry all the love in the world for you and am always here if you need me.

Dear Hunger Games (the book), I didn't love you as much as everybody else seems to, but I thought your plot was brilliant. I ended the book feeling like you were lacking, but multiple people told me to stick with it because the plot thickens and the writing becomes more substantial. Here's hoping.

Happy Monday friends! Did you have a good weekend? What'd you do?
