I ♥ Summer!

Yesterday was the perfect summer day.  Actually, it was a little cooler than I would like, but it was grand.  First thing in the morning, I donned my long sleeved shirt and biked into the gym.  As I was on the treadmill I read a chapter from The Digital Writing Workshop.  Reading and having the ability to bookmark on my phone is wonderful.  After sweating, reading, sweating, taking notes, sweating, and sweating, I stopped by Byerly's for a banana then met a friend at Dunn Brothers.  We drank coffee (well, a mocha, it's as close to coffee as I get), talked, walked, talked, talked, and even sat a bit.  After a couple of hours, I pedaled the other side of the lake home to sit in the sun and read, Fire in the Streets.  While I blogged about the book for our school webpage, I ate a piece of pizza with spinach, mushrooms, and gorgonzola cheese... delightful.  This was followed by book club with a phenomenal group of ladies as we discussed Astrid and Veronika.  Today will not be as grand because we will have rain and not as much sun, but it will still contain the wonders of summer.  I will go to the gym and sweat like a crazy person, eat lunch with friends, and read in the afternoon.  Later in the day I will join a colleague for Happy Hour and life will be good.

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.
