FMM is back!

... holds so many great things! Yes, even though it's Monday. I'm very excited today, which is good because it is offsetting the otherwise depressed mood I'd be in since today is day two of rain around here.

Today, dear Amber of Silver Lining is coming back with Friend Makin Mondays! This little blog party of hers was put on hold back in the spring due to some tragic personal events in her life, but she is back and better than ever, I tell you. Here's the deal: Visit Amber to get the scoop, post your own Friend Makin Monday post, then post your link on Amber's blog. Easy, right? 

Today... I am returning to work after a wondrous and much-needed four-day weekend.

Today... I will not skip my workout since it is raining outside, but I will use my free On Demand to conjure up a great cardio workout.

Today... I am hopeful.

Today... I will try to schedule blog posts for the entire week so I do not miss any.

Today... I will make time to read for at least an hour.

Today... I am writing out a game plan for all of my work projects.

Today... I will be grateful...

• For the rain, even though it makes me sad, because my plants are getting some much needed refreshment, because I love the sound it makes as it hits the pavement and my roof, and because the pine tree outside my window looks so pretty with raindrops on the tips of the pine needles.

• For going to see Eat Pray Love yesterday afternoon by myself. For knowing myself, feeling confident in myself and being independent enough to go to a movie by myself. (I'm working on a review to post tomorrow.)

• For the chance to experiment this week eating only fish and veggies. No meat... other than the leftovers I have to finish in the fridge...

So, friends, what are you doing/feeling/wishing today?
