2. That Kellie understood that I was too exhausted to go to her yoga class.

5. I'm grateful for a shift in perception that makes me excited to begin again tomorrow instead of feeling negatively about today.
6. That in 1.5 weeks I'll be in New York.
7. That I received multiple texts from friends and fam today asking how I was. How wonderful it is to feel loved.
8. That Derby is sleeping snuggled up to me as I type this list. What a lucky dog mama I am.
9. For advice to always assume people are doing their best. This can be difficult for me but I'm willing to try.
