Day 97: A Wizened Winter Hen

"On the trail again...!!"

I woke up early and did my normal routine. But I took some time to stretch on the deck outside and breathe the COOL air! When I got up for real, I was so happy to see overcast skies! I haven't witnessed the promised rain yet, but the air feels pregnant with succulent drops (how poetic am I?!)

I went for a nice 1 mile walk on the trail. Oh, it feels wonderful to be back! I had my radio tuned to Classical 89.9.  I listened in rapture to a lovely Beethoven quartet.

I had my yogurt and one of my daughter's avocado devilled eggs and a few slices of turkey bacon for breakfast.  I also drank some grapefruit juice and my tall glass of ice water.

Did some prayer, wrote in my prayer journal and some Bible reading. 

I stepped on the scale and was pleased to see it had moved down another pound.

I am a bit stiff. But I am not a spring chicken!  I'm thinking maybe a wizened old winter hen! :)

So I am about to do some yoga, shower and go teach and practice.

I am listening to the Coppelia Ballet by Delibes which reminds me a lot of Tchaikovsky.  It is number 267 on the top 300 Classic Hall of Fame from the UK Classic FM station, which sadly does not stream here in the US! Thank the Lord for Classical 89.9! http://halloffame.classicfm.com/2015/chart/position/267/

Happy Friday!

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

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!
