Thanksgiving and Beyond

For the long Thanksgiving weekend, I have my "niece" (not really, but kind of...) staying with me. She joined my friend and me on our Thanksgiving tradition of participating in the hunger walk around the MOA. We laughed, talked seriously, did jumping jacks for free socks, laughed, talked seriously, and had an enjoyable time.

Today I went back to the gym for the first time since March 20th. The weather has been so warm, that I've been riding my bike outside. I will be riding inside for several months, but I already miss being outside and enjoying the changing colors, the birds, the animals, being able to set my own course. I feel that I sometimes take nature and our beautiful planet for granted.

As I opened up today's FB page, I saw the image and quote that I posted. It's a Cree Indian Prophecy. I'm worried about the protesters in North Dakota, and I'm even more worried about what happens when they leave and are forced out. I feel our media is doing a horrible job covering this and talking about the devastation of this pipeline. When will our country learn...? This obviously is related to the current election, but I think I'll stop with another image (another "oldie but goodie")

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...

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
