New Year's Resolutions

I am not a fan of New Year's resolutions. Why wait until the new year to do what needs to be done? New Year's resolutions certainly get on my nerves when it comes to the gym parking ramp. I've made it to the gym eight of the last eleven days and plan to go tonight after conferences. Although I won't make my twelve before surgery, it's been a good mental exercise. Actually last night I listened to Fighter by Christina Aguilera twice as a motivator. Unfortunately everyone who normally doesn't go to the gym is there with me taking up my parking spaces. Each and every day I've had to park on the upper level and walk down the crazy steps which last night were a bit slick. Normally this is reserved for Saturdays, not every day. Maybe by the time I am able to go back to the gym full time the others will realize their resolution was not meant to be.

Today's Kindness
This is again difficult since I haven't left my house yet, but my brother called last night to ask about my surgery. Also I received an e-mail from a colleague I rarely, if ever, talk to wishing me well on my surgery. Although these happened yesterday (technically last evening), I feel kindness will happen today. If not, I'll try to do my part.

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.
