Action and Adventure in August: Part 5

Late this afternoon I was getting ready for a little action. in the form of a bike ride with my bike club. I haven't done many rides with them, so I was excited about the Friday ride. After getting my clubs out of the car and putting my bike and other bike stuff in the car, I decided to get the rest ready before I put on my kit (shirt and shorts). All I needed was to find my wallet which normally lives in my small bike purse. It wasn't there. It wasn't in my golf bag. It wasn't in the car. It also wasn't in a myriad of other places I looked including the recycling dumpster outside where I had taken the recyclables earlier. After calling the golf course, I realized it wasn't there either. About 15 minutes into the frantic search, I called the golf course; it wasn't there either. I kept researching all of the places I had looked. Finally, I thought to find the shoes I wore to play golf yesterday. I had thrown in on the closet floor with my shoes. It was a frantic 35 minute search including action and adventure. Wallet found too late for the ride, but the wallet was found.

School year's starting, and that means it's time for me to LOSE STUFF constantly.

Working and losing stuff go hand in hand.

I'm glad you found your wallet, but there has to be a solution to this losing problem.

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.
