Grey Day


Today is a grey day with that wet kind of chill in the air.  It is also a workshop day at school.  Although I often find fault with our administration, I am pleased when they send out an e-mail saying the afternoon is set aside for grades (on or off site).  Since I spend hours doing work at home, I chose off site.  I also tried to look for beauty that I had not noticed before on the way home as for the Lenten suggestions.  A bright pink skirt walking down the street caught my eye.  It was beautiful and sunshiny on this grey day.  I also noticed a bird nest in the bare branches of a tree.  The traffic behind me didn't allow me to stop and take a picture.  Then, the tree with leaves still hanging on caught my attention.  How have these leaves survived the harsh winter?  Yesterday I bought tulips.  It's that time of year when I love fresh cut flowers while I wait for spring to arrive (real spring not merely a calendar date).



Today I am grateful for...
1) the brightness in a grey day
2) time to work at home and perhaps take a nap
3) fresh tulips

I like that Lenten List.

I also love when the administration says work where you want. Good luck with your work. Glad you got the tulips.

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.
