Its been a long day of driving and eating. Still more driving tomorrow, to get back to Toledo. But here, nonetheless, is todays gratitude list. Today, I am grateful for: - A job that has permitted me to spend this week eating and drinking in several states. I have eaten VERY well, from barbecue to cheesecake, from fish tacos to ice cream. I have amused myself while trying beers, and enjoyed some great Wisconsin-made sodas (yes, Linda Steinborn Bender, I got a Sprechers ginger ale!). I have relished some lovely sweets, and I have tasted some utterly delectable cheeses while developing a tremendous amount of respect for how theyre made. And, of course, I have chatted and schmoozed and made friends all along the way ... :) - Gorgeous sunshine-y weather to make up for Mondays monsoons and Tuesdays rain. Not too hot, not too cold ... as Goldilocks would say, just right. - The ability to see things in a positive light, rather than being a kvetch: travelling through the Rust Belt and seeing beauty in old architecture or in rejuvenated neighborhoods ... going to an incredibly rural area as a city girl and relishing the peace and quiet and sunsets ... finding the coffee shop Id intended to go to was closed (twice!), and being thrilled to find an even better option ... getting an upgrade when tonights hotel was sold out for the booked room, and not caring that its next to the elevator because the suite (yes, 2-bedroom suite!) has a refrigerator to hold all the cheese I bought at Hennings and lots of space, not to mention extra pillows borrowed from the spare bedroom!
