"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman

So many things make me come alive these days:

• Dental school. Even on the bad days.
• planning our wedding. (I bought a DRESS!!)
• cooking. new and interesting foods. Did you know that Sweet Potatoes are the MOST nutritionally valuable item you can buy in the produce section of the grocery store? Try boiling them with the skins on (that cooks in all of the really good antioxidants) and then peeling them and making mashed potatoes. Sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top and they are TO DIE FOR.
• time with family and close friends. I spent my entire spring break with my parents, sister, her bf Cale, Matthew and Sarah and I would not have spent it ANY other way. It was a BLAST.
• Pico. and his adorable little face. even when he chases my cursor on the screen and walks all over my computer keyboard.
• Running. and Spinning. but especially running outside. We were able to run outside while we were in tampa and it reminded me how much I have missed a good long run outside. I think I am going to train for a half marathon. Now I just need to pick one....

Those are the things that are currently making me come alive. & I am LOVING my life right now! Happy Monday!
