Year Two, Day 271: London Fog Monday

Year Two, Day 271: London Fog Monday - "Love"

Monday morning. Cold, dark, pouring rain.

It's fitting that I start with the day with a "London Fog"!

I am glad to see the rain. It feels like business as usual here in Portland. We can do rain. I was worried that the snowstorm that had been forecasted for early this morning would hit. The weather men had said it would rain all night and that if the temps got low enough we could see snow accumulations.

I think we've had quite enough snow for one winter. Thank you very much!

I am feeling quite good today. I am not as stiff and sore this morning. And my face not as poofy

I had a good soul breakfast of prayer, bible study and reading a daily reflection.

I am not usually hungry first thing in the morning.So I packed a hard boiled egg, an apple and some rice crackers. I ate the egg sprinkled with Tajin at Starbucks. I ordered my London Fog with soy milk this morning. I like the taste of soy.

I was starting to feel guilty about my Starbucks habit. So, to ease my conscience a bit, I am switching to LF's because I can reuse that tea bag later at work!

Brilliant!

I put one of my daughter's crockpot meals in the slow cooker this morning. I will stop by after my church job and add seasonings, tomato paste and water if needed. Then I will have lunch and head out to teach.

My fruit of the spirit today is love.

And coincidentally (or not), I received this text on my phone while I was sipping my LF: "FISHFOOD4THOUGHT: "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear". From 104.1 The Fish.

No words seem necessary after the word "Love".

Happy Monday!

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 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!

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...
