Things for which I am grateful first thing in the morning

• The sound of my morning cup of coffee as I pour it from the carafe to my cup.
• Our brown lab Bailey sitting next to me in the morning as I go through my morning routine.  She knows she will get fed in 15 minutes when Beth wakes up - she's just sitting next to me for the company.
• The opportunity to drive into work and listen to Zig Ziglar on the way.
• Reflections on a great dinner with friends and family the night before.
• The fact that I can still bend over and touch my palms flat to the floor when I finish up my stretches.
• My health.
