Reaching for the Sky

Puerto Vallarta '11

Much of my recovery and what I'm able to do depends on my progress and the length of time since my surgery. Friday will mark week seven. The progress I've made to date has been ahead of schedule. This last week, however, has been a bit difficult because I've been having some sharp pains. Today when I walked into PT, she commented, "So, you're a bit sore." After a long day at school, I had to give this some thought because I didn't remember mentioning the pain although it was my intent. "How do you know I'm having pain?" I asked without thinking. Instead of answering my question, she shot back another question, "Do you need to be back on your crutches?" Of course my answer is absolutely not which seems to be the correct answer if I behave myself. Behave is my middle name, so this should be easy for me. While she was working on my hip and leg area, we discussed my daily activities and physical therapy exercises (I am rocking the exercises!). I thought this might be a good time to ask if I could zip line while I was in Puerto Vallarta. This may have caught her off guard after our discussion about my behaving myself, but it was a legitimate question.

Today I am thankful for...
1) My PT... I do really appreciate her even when she doesn't tell me exactly what I want to hear.

2) Bringing school work home and deciding to leave it in the back pack

3) Leftovers

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.
