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 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

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...

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!
