- Choosing to stay in on a Friday night.
- Staying in on a Friday night, eating pie, drinking wine and watching “Argo”? Even better.
- Sleeping in until I’m rested. Not until I’m comatose. Not before I want to wake up.
- Thinking critically and enjoying some thought-provoking talks at a TEDx event.
- Spending quality time with new friends.
- Going out, even when you don’t want to.
- Planning to stay out until 10 p.m.; but instead have so much fun that you don’t leave until the wee morning hours.
- Committing to a new church.
- Being 100 percent at church when you’re there.
- Finding reasons to walk places instead of drive.
- Run 6 miles. In 54 minutes. And feel satisfied.
- My knees saw sunshine for the first time in months.
- Bright new running shoes that are more vibrant, bold and fun.
- Having the comfort and ability to go eat a dinner at a Mexican restaurant when you want to.
- All by yourself.
- And not feel guilty for eating all the chips. All the salsa.
- Having a lot of reasons to smile throughout the day for a something that might not be an anything, but certainly isn’t a nothing.
