Thanks???



As I was driving to Okoboji, I received a message that said Reverend RD had left a gift for me at a local store. Rev. RD is a former pastor of a church here in Okoboji. Since he helped procure some crates for me years ago, I expected a crate. When I arrived to pick up my gift, I was shocked to see a plastic (sturdy plastic), St. Louis Rams, lawn chair. "Oh RD," I said to the lady who had delivered it to me. "It's certainly unique." I'm going to deposit it in the dumpster, but it is "the thought that counts." The gesture was very sweet. The chair...? Now I need to think about how to word the thank you note.

As I was taking the chair to the dumpster, I came into the territory of a protective mother bird, Killdeer. Typically she flies in the opposite direction and acts as if she is injured, but she didn't see me coming. I didn't see her either, so she let out a shriek that scared me. Instead of making a straight path to the dumpster, I went another route to the back of the dumpster.

WiFi Adventure:
Today is my last day in Okoboji. Actually I'm hanging out instead of going home to wrangle the cat in the carrier. My WiFi spot for today is Hey, Good Cookies! I was able to find a new WiFi spot everyday, but it was more costly than sitting at home using the internet. This evening I'll be able to use my own.

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.
