Trash List

Have you ever actually thought about how truly good it is to have a garbage collector come on a regular basis. Today, this is #1 on my "list for the day" (gratitude list).

After a fantastic team meeting today and thanks to our sponsor bringing a great lunch....there was a bunch of trash. Since our office is "my home" for most of the day...I loaded up the 3 kitchen cans and the leftover trays and headed to the dumpster outside the office....Hands very full and wearing THESE SHOES. So....walkwalkwalkwalkwalkwalk....shift bags....walkwalkwalkwalk.....walk a little more and finally much to the relief of my blistered foot, I arrive at the dumpster....FULL...to overflowing. Hmmm....Trash is supposed to come on the weekends... I remember the dumpster in the now empty other building thinking it would be empty....
So i begin again, thinking --"it is a lovely day and I'm glad to be outside" and then ...walkwalkwalkwalkwalkwalk....shift bags....walkwalkwalkwalk.....walk a little more and then walk just a little bit more. Other dumpster full too. Fortunately this one had an empty box I was able to put my bags in.
On the way back to the office I was thinking...I really do need to walk during the day more often..just not in THESE SHOES....but for the fact that it is someones job to come a take all this junk we throw away...and if they didn't come...we'd be neck high by Wednesday.

one quick call to the landlord and the dumpsters were emptied within the hour :)
so my list for today:
1. garbage collection...and those who do it...I appreciate the work you do.
2. THESE SHOES- my feet may hurt just a tad....bud damn I look good!
3. Lunch today with Nikki Buckelew....who always opens my mind....who I relate so well to and who laughs at my crazy stories.
4. James, my new trainer/coach at Gold's Gym....who told me in fact that I was NOT skinny. (though to his credit he didn't call me fat either).
5. Dreams...and making a list with family members to find out what their dreams are.
6. Early morning rides to school with Samantha. Special time.
7. The way Will, my JR in high school, calls everything "cute" and that he was proudly wearing a Cox Elementary school hoodie yesterday so he could "give props to his elementary school.
8. The delight in every day.
9. BCW, my six year old niece laughing coyly(not meanly) at the death of her sister's hamster Joey.
10. Is 'meanly' a word?
