Beautiful


After the last three or four days of miserable weather, today was beautiful. Nothing compares to the beauty and peacefulness of sitting on a dock in the sun talking with wonderful friends. Today was that day. It was enhanced by the pleasure of being able to eat both lunch and dinner at the Taco House with different sets of friends. If it wasn't for the brief health care reform/the United States is lacking religion/our country will soon turn into a dictatorship/... conversation with one of the women I was visiting, it might have been perfect. Of course this was brief because I have little time for people who are not well read and informed. Would it be prejudice to mention my friend is from Texas? The conversation went back to a lighter topic. At least I had the lake with waves and people to watch during the semi-heated discussion.

Internet Update
I've decided to make the lack of internet an adventure. Yesterday it was the Welcome Center. Today it's the Java Joint. Before church this morning, I stopped in briefly to check hours. The manager (owner?) said they closed at four, but that I could sit on the porch anytime and use the internet!

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.
