Dear Winter

Dear Winter,
You suck!  Please leave and come back when you will be more appreciated like perhaps next December.  A white Christmas is delightful.  Snow at the end of March is not.

Much hate,
MM

I haven't blogged, taken pictures, been grateful, or followed my Lenten practices all week.  This means I have not forgiven someone, had an internet diet, changed one light to a compact florescent (most of mine are!), or checked out morning and evening prayer.  Tomorrow I will probably not ask for help.  It is also doubtful that I will tell someone what I am grateful for on Saturday... well by Saturday the weather might be better, and I might be a better person.

The weather is horrible, and I have been sick this week.  The last two nights I went read then went to bed without even going or thinking about going to the gym.  Do you notice my negativity?  It's snowing outside (or it was... I shut the blinds, so I didn't have to watch).    As I stood outside waiting for RIPPED class to start, all I could think is why am I working out?  I'll never wear anything other than jeans and a sweatshirt with long sleeves under it anyway!

OK... I'll try...
I'm thankful for...
1) After school boys thanked me as they left today (their last day of the after school program).
2) Since my dad's place still has a frozen septic tank, I splurged and booked a room in Boji for next Friday at a fancier hotel with whirlpool (frozen septic tank bad... splurging and planning to spend time with friends good).
3) Chocolate... since I took an ISS (in school suspension) kid in my room today, I was given chocolate.
4) I've read 32.5  of the 40 books for the 40 Book Challenge.

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.
