HNY


Happy New Year!  It's come to this.  Although I set some goals with a friend for our birthdays, I've also realized I need to focus a bit on my health.  I quit taking all of my asthma medications sometime around November.  When I went to give blood, I also realized my iron is low again.  To help with the iron, I've once again started drinking smoothies with kale and blackstrap molasses.  The berries' vitamin C should also help with the absorption of the iron.  In addition, I'm taking an iron tablet.

Yesterday, I only made it through 45 minutes of spin class before I became too light headed to finish.  I'm not sure if this is because of the iron deficiency or the asthma, but I did use my inhaler before today's class.  Part way through I had a coughing fit and difficulty breathing.  The poor lady next to me asked a couple of times if I was OK.  I nodded, took a break, and continued.  At the end of class she asked if I had untreated asthma.  "I used my inhaler today, but I may need to use it more often," I replied.  She gave me a smile that said, "Good luck with that..."  It looks like I'll need to pay a bit more attention to my health.

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.
