Day 75: Let it Rain! :)

75. It sounds like a big, impressive number!

I must admit that I am very proud and impressed with myself for sticking with the program.

I really owe most of my success to this blog. It makes me accountable.  Even if noone reads a post, I am putting into writing what I have accomplished and I am being painfully honest.

This morning I had my usual battle with the snooze alarm. But it is breakfast with my mother day, so I do not have the luxury of sleeping in. So when my eyes popped open at 6:30 a.m., I popped up, poured a tall glass of ice water and made my bed to discourage the thought of diving back in!

It is pleasantly overcast.  The air is thick with the promise of rain.  RAIN! :)  I have the window open and fan blowing. The temperature is supposed to hit somewhere in the high 60's today.  Glorious! :) (But, yikes, I just checked the 7-day forecast.  100 degrees on Wednesday! Sigh. Global warming sucks!)

I won't have time to go to the trail today. But tomorrow for sure. I cannot wait! It's been 2 days since I have run.  But this yoga is really helpful for my joints and my attitude! 

Then I went to Classic FM's hall of fame site and put on Edward Elgar's Ave Maria and got to my yoga!  I am still struggling with stiffness and soreness. But the yoga, painful as it may be is helping a lot!http://halloffame.classicfm.com/2015/chart/position/293/


I teach at the church today, so I'll do some more exercise on one of my breaks.

Yesterday I went through the day feeling much better than usual.  I attribute it to the yoga. And perhaps the Glucosamine that I have begun to take for joint health.

I also had a very fruitful 2.5 hour practice last night on my Steinway friend downtown.

And now I'm off! 

Happy Saturday!

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
