Vegan Herbed Seitan Vol Au Vents

Today, I'm most definitely thankful for my legs.  Without them, I wouldn't be able to do half the things I do everyday.

They allow me to stay on my feet for 8 hours at work; to hop on my bike and teach the Spinning classes I enjoy so much teaching; to be in the kitchen for hours cooking. And of course, one of the things I'm most grateful for, they push me through my runs without giving up , despite the abuse I put them through.

I recently saw this posted on a running site's Facebook page. I thought it was great, and perfect to share here:

"My legs are not the most slender or delicate of creatures. They are not as thin as any models and my thighs most certainly touch. But they run thick with my passion,  my effort. They run strong with my sweat and my endurance. When I think I can go no further they prevail. When I want to collapse they stand. They have taken what I thought impossible and proved me wrong time after time. They are my dedication, my work, my courage personified. My legs are strong, my legs are beautiful"

That says it all!

What are you thankful for?
