Lingering Laziness

My plan was to do the back to back spin classes this morning, but I completed the 75 minute class and went home. Honestly, spin class is the highlight of my day. I have done absolutely nothing. Oh, this is untrue. I did change the four bulbs in the hallway light fixture. Three work, but for some reason the fourth doesn't. It didn't take long to realize it was the socket not the bulb, and that I really don't care enough to do anything about it. Even though I've done nothing, I've been greeted with kindness. On my way to get new lightbulbs, I stopped by the Uptown Hirshfield's location asking about paint swatches, "Do you have any old swatches that you'd be willing to give me? I know they're free, but I would like a large amount." Without hesitation, the salesperson reached behind and handed me a "large amount." In fact, I cut while watching the local and national news. Why? I use them to help the seventh graders get ideas for their color poems (colors, titles, variations...). Although I have some cut up from years past, it's always good to add to the selection. I have individual colors separated into nine bags for groups to use when we write our color poems. Unfortunately, it's grey outside, and this is the only color of the day.

Today I give thanks for...

1) a good book

I'm reading The Good Braider.

2) kind salespeople

3) geese honking over head

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.
