Just Maybe

Just maybe it is spring although I've seen few signs. Sunday was the start of Holy Week. What's more spring than Easter? Today I put my jacket on to go work out wondering if wearing shorts to the gym was a good idea. At the grocery store I bought more fruits and vegetables which I consider a sign of spring (warmer weather/more concern with weight). As I passed some bushes on my return walk home, I actually saw buds beginning to form. Plus the city park crew was actually trimming the trees and making mulch (definately a smell of spring). This afternoon as I finished my third YA book of spring break, I noticed the sun shining through my windows. The cat actually left my lap to go find solace in the sun. I'm sure after the ongoing days of clouds, he figured it was gone for good. Actually I was wondering the same myself. Although I kept saying the clouds and rain are helping me stay more productive inside, I actually missed seeing something bright hanging in the sky. Tonight is the Twins' season opener and the end of the NCAA basketball tournament (change from winter to spring?!). Just maybe we'll make it through this miserable week of cold (according to the not always right weather forecasters), and the signs of spring will be evident everywhere without my having to search and imagine them!

My gratitude list for today:
1) sun peeking through the clouds
2) time for reading
3) being able to help (very little) my bro on his thesis

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
