It's Never Easy


I'm in Okoboji for a short visit.  When I called my dad to let him know I sent his mail, he asked how the beans looked.  Of course I had already left the house and wouldn't be returning until after dark.  "I don't know.  How would I know?" I replied.  Let's be honest they're soybeans.  It's not like picking beans out at the farmers' market.  Thanks to technology I was able to take a picture, after dark, and text him the photo.  


I also was able to finally ride the old fun house slide which now resides at Blu.  The boy at the top of the stairs gave me my waiver to sign and wanted to stamp my hand.  First, I would like to say I was the only one over 12, so I'm sure I'm easy to remember.  After I told him I didn't need a stamp because I was only going once, he explained many people say that but go again.  When I ended my ride down the slide, my friend informed me I needed to go again because she didn't get the picture.  Back up the stairs I went, so j could get my picture, and the boy could say, "I told you so.". After the third time, we made these pictures work.  The boy, of course was humored by my multiple trips down the slide as were the little kids around me.

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.
