Feeling Sorry for Myself

I should've posted yesterday from the airport because it would have completely contradicted Friday's post about not minding sitting in the airport. My flight was due to depart at 7:11. Since I arrived early at the airport, I tried to get on the 6:15 flight but decided I could sit in the airport instead of pay $50 to get out an hour early. As time went on neither flight left on time due to strong winds in Minneapolis. Sitting and listening to the Delta people in the airport, it became apparent that their were chances of spending the night. This did not come to fruition, but it was a lengthy wait (landing at MSP around 11:30). The wait was made less tolerable because I was feeling ill with a sore throat and ear ache. Today I stayed home from school with a low temp, sore throat and ear ache because I thought being in the cold wind all day would not alleviate my symptoms and worsen my illness. Instead of correcting the papers I had brought home with me this weekend (today or at the airport), I spent the time feeling sorry for myself and my predicament.

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.
