Wake Me Up by Avicii



Last week I was disappointed to quite disappointed that I was not able to make a dent in the three of four pounds I wanted to work off.  Even after eating carefully and working out, the scale didn't move.  This week I've tried something different.  I've eaten anything and everything I wanted including eating out the last two evening and indulging in a beer and dessert with each meal.  Tonight after having a danish with my sandwich, I even added a bag of mint M & Ms as I checked out at Walgreens.  My weigh in on Saturday probably won't be satisfactory, but I've had an enjoyable week.  It's not to say that I don't feel a bit guilty.  My plan is to alleve some of this guilt by getting up super early tomorrow and biking before work.  The alarm with "Wake Me Up," but the real challenge will actually be getting out of bed.  It may or may not happen, but the alarm will be set to "Wake Me Up."

Good luck with the alarm. I don't miss mine!

I brought a poem by Jan L. Richardson (Painted Prayerbook). Other readings came from Christ of the Celts by J. Phillip Newell, a book by Parker Palmer, and from the magazine Spirituality and Health Practices.

Thx, woman. Parker Palmer. Do you recommend?

I would lean toward Phillip J. Newell. Christ of the Celts is the book they were reading, but he has others. I'm sure either would be engaging.

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.
