day 2

So this is getting tough already.  It's not that I am having a hard time finding things to be thankful for.  I just feel like writing out the things I am grateful for today will seem silly.  Well, I can't cop out on day 2, so here goes.  No judging!

I am thankful for tonight's "bootcamp on the bike" class at the gym that kicked my butt.  It was definitely a challenge to go from lifting weights to doing intervals on the spinning bikes.  And I decided that tonight was a good time to add an additional 5 pounds to my dumbbell.  That was probably not the smartest idea, because tonight was probably one of the toughest classes I have attended yet.  I am going to be so sore tomorrow.  That being said, I am thankful for a body that is capable of doing all the different exercises that we did tonight.  And I am thankful for that really good post-workout feeling.  And I am oh so thankful for a nice warm shower when I come home.

I am also thankful for the faculty members I work with in the clinic.  It's nice to be able to approach your professor and not be embarrassed to say, "I don't understand this" or "explain this to me".  Today, I asked Dr. C about why we yesterday chose to make a ceramic crown with a zirconia core that can be cemented instead of a pressed ceramic crown that needs to be bonded for the patient.  (I could tell you why, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be that interesting for you.)  Later that afternoon, I talked with Dr. B at length about the steps needed to make an implant supported over-denture.  It was nice to get my questions answered with straight-forward answers.  I hope to never take that for granted.
