Hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoying it RIGHT NOW — even though it is Monday! This has been something that has been coming up over and over for me lately; living in the present and appreciating the right now, the little moments, even in the times that aren’t so awesome – trying to find the presents Image may be NSFW.

This morning it was particularly difficult during my 17 mile training run. Yes, it was tough and all I wanted to be was back in my comfy cozy bed! I kept reminding myself to just be in the present and find the little presents in the moments OR in the 156 minutes out on Bayshore! Eeek!
Here are the presents I experienced during my jog this morning:
- Dolphins!! I saw 2 playing together and 1 jumping way out in the distance – Sooo cool!!
- I got to see all my favorite “regulars” out on Bayshore! It’s so cool to see the same people just about every morning – Seriously, seeing a familiar and friendly face while jogging is the best – I grab as much energy from those encounters as I can!
- Jogging past my window, across the street, there was my dear husband brushing his teeth looking for me!! What are the odds that I would be jogging by at the same 30 seconds he would be standing by the window – Only explanation, PRESENTS!! That put a ton of pep-in-my-step!
- Running into dear friend Catherine – looking cute as ever!
- Having enough water and fuel for the jog! I don’t usually need much but having a few gummy bears is always a treat – ANYTIME! Image may be NSFW.

- The amazing BREEZE! On these hot summer mornings the breeze is amazing!! Often in Florida you get nothing – this morning was FAB!Image may be NSFW.

- Feeling my legs and joints – knowing they are strong and healthy!
- Finding stupid things funny – I won’t mention what they are but just know you would laugh too! Image may be NSFW.
