I am all for this uplifting way to start off a busy work week. Healthy Diva has something wonderful going here. 
Marvelous… that there isn’t the first week jitters for work. Yeah, it is still new and I am very much still in the learning curve but I feel more comfortable. This week is really learning about what I will do on a day to day basis along with some of my normal jobs.
Marvelous... that my foot feels so much better. I went in the next day for a follow up and they were amazed at how much better it looked. Sadly, the stomach issues with the antibiotics will last for a while longer because I still have 8 more days on the heavy antibiotics. Better than a bum foot though!
Marvelous… roof top chilling yesterday. I got to talk to one of my closest friends I haven’t spoken to in way too long. We caught up on life, the rambles, laughs and all. She suggested trying ok cupid instead of match.com. Never the less it was freaking amazing to hear her voice and chat. I miss her more than words can describe. 
Marvelous… email exchange with a close friend. I know you have that person, that person that gets you on kind of an unreal level and doesn’t judge you for your past or current mistakes. That person I found this year and I worried what distance would do with our friendship. If anything, I feel closer to her. We ended up exchanging a few emails this weekend and each one made me almost cry. A good cry, a kind of ‘this is where I want to be’ type feeling. So comforting. I can’t even put words to it.
Marvelous… I meet some BUILD students tonight. The ninth grade students who are graduating to our 10-12 grade program are all coming to the office later this afternoon for a little get together. I am pumped to meet the type of students I will be working with. I may not be working with these ones in particular, but just interacting with high schoolers is something I have been itching to do.
Marvelous…back in the groove run today. Yesterday I took it easy and did a slow 30 minutes with the roommate and a Bikram session. Just what my legs needed to feel refreshed and ready to get back into training. This morning was rainy but still pumped out some good miles.
Marvelous… package from ItzLinz giveaway of NuNaturals products. Oh my freaking gosh, I opened the box and was stunned by all that I won. I have never tried the cocoa drops or the packets of sweetener. So delicious and making my coffee in the morning even tastier. I have been looking up tons of recipes to use them with because I honestly have not heard of half the products I was sent. Thank you Linz!
Off to work! Have a marvelous Monday!

whew im glad you foot is better. that looked so bad!
oh ya it was gross. I will admit that.
It def is a blessing to have such a genuine, amazing friendship isn’t it? My bff and I’ve been living in diff cities ever since we graduated high school, No matter how long we go without seeing or talking to each other, we always pick up right where we left off! And yes, I cry everytime I read her emails. Friendship really is a marvelous thing isn’t it?
I LOVE THAT when you can pick up from anywhere after how ever long. So beautiful.
looks like we were both able to catch up with friends this weekend, how great! & wow – i’m so glad the meds are working for your foot, I would have been freaking out! good luck meeting the students – they will love you, no doubt!
A little intimidating, I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Marvelous about my Monday? Allergy medicine. I have been suffering like noone’s business and I finally got some medicine that is helping (Allegra, not Claritin, go figure!)
Allergy medicine always does the trick!
PBS Crave Cookie Nookie is my new favorite thing! Yummmm. I really want to try NuNaturals!! Happy Marvelous Monday!!

Love me some rooftop chillin’! What is marvelous about my Monday is I got to fit in a lovely run this morning and tonite is dance class! Hope you have a wonderful week girlie!!
Jealous of that dance class, rock away!
My Monday has been marvelous because it’s been so busy , so it’s going by fast lol Mondays that are fast are the best kinds
I agree, I like when they go by fast. it makes it so much easier.
Marvelous — because it’s my husband’s birthday + our first anniversary week!!!!!
Those are awesome things!
Just catching up on your posts from this weekend – I’m so glad your foot is feeling better!
Thank you, it seriously feels so much better.
Nothing beats a great friend that you can ALWAYS talk to. I hate the new work jitters. They make me have to go to the bathroom.
Haha, I am the same way! I still am so nervous and on edge in the office.
Could you have more marvelous??? LOL. Good job!
I know, i feel like this is the one day I am all positive. crazy.
It’s so awesome to catch up with good friends! I love chocolate flavoured stevia drops. They’re the best in coffee! I’m really glad to hear your foot is doing better, I was worried.
I can’t wait to try them in my coffee!
Yay! So glad everything is going so marvelously– especially about you foot!
It is always good to look at the positives on mondays!
I love this idea! Glad your foot is better.
Can’t take credit for it but I love it too! Thank you.

That is a gorgeous view from the rooftop!
Isn’t it? I had no idea we had one until I moved in.
I am loving these posts. And your marvelous things are all so great. I have always wanted to hang out on a rooftop.
I am so lucky the apartment has one, it is beautiful up there!

Oh man I have heard of those but never tried them. I love starting my mondays in a bright way!
I will be having those work jitters when I start in August. /: But chilling on the rooftop, having amazing friends? those are the best.
Jitters are normal, I just hope they go away soon!
