Live


There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle.    ~Albert Einstein

Live and let live is a better quote than live and let die.  Live and let live means that I will live my life and be accepting of others as they will do the same for me.  This all seems like a great plan, but last night when a friend and I pulled into a local establishment (local = local, Okoboji, Iowa), I was appalled by the Trump bumper sticker in the back of a truck window.  How can people be this stupid or racist or...?  Basically, I would rather everyone hold the same belief system as me.  It, unfortunately, doesn't always work like this.  Soooo.... I really think I'm going to caucus for Trump.  Have I written this before?  Although I think Trump is an evil person, I think Cruz is more of an evil person.  I also am fairly confident that Bernie will do better than Hillary in Minneapolis, so caucusing for Trump seems like a good idea.  Right?!  A dear friend and I had this conversation over breakfast this morning (as well as conversations about almost everything related to living and not living and well, everything).  The concerns seems to be that I would open my mouth and call someone stupid or have a look of utter disgust on my face while I was surrounded by Trump supporters.  I'm not sure how to play this one.

Anyway, live and let live people if you're fighting the good fight I'm fighting.

I forgot my gratitude list the first time I posted.

I'm thankful for...
1) spending time in Boji with friends
2) weekly check-in with Dad
3) music to make the car ride easier

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.
