Year Two, Day 285:My Day in Pictures


Long day. It is late. I need to hit the hay soon.

But I would not feel right about my life at this point if I did not submit my daily blog post!

At breakfast Saturday morning, my son-in-law suggested I post more pictures as I go about my day.  Guess he's tired of just seeing my face!

So, today, I took random shots throughout the day. Tomorrow I would like to get some selfies with people, but I do need to get their permission first!

This is perfect, because I do not have many words for you this late.  A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Here is my face. Happy am I. I just earned another free Starbucks coffee!





My free coffee:  A venti, smoked butterscotch soy latte with 1/3 the sweetener.  So yummy!

Speaking of yummy, the Clackamas County Sheriff's department, had some of it's finest specimens at my regular Starbucks.  It made the coffee go down so nicely, to have their presence there! (Umm...have I mentioned how much I love a man in a uniform? Yup.)   



Right on time, my favorite bus driver arrived. Greeted me with a smile. We chatted for a few minutes before she dropped me off at my church job.


My Church job. :)

This is the Springwater Trail that runs along Johnson Creek near Milwaukie.  I was on my way to drop off the remainder of my rental application...keep praying!

Johnson Creek is getting dangerously high and quite angry looking!   


I made it to the gym! I am trying something new: Exercise breaks. I do not have time in my life for the luxury of full workouts now that I am working more hours. So I plan on popping in for 20 minute mini sessions!  Today I focused on arms. :)


And I rewarded myself with a gluten free brownie and a "Big Ass" cup of mint tea at Pappacinos at the end of my teaching day. The barista there is hilarious. He told me about a coffee shop he used to work at that had small, medium and "big ass" sizes.  :) 


And that, my friends was my day in pictures!

Hope you had a Happy Monday!


My fruit of the spirit today (Galatians 5:22-23) was goodness.  And as I walked home, after a very productive day, I felt God's presence.  I realized I could have been worried and anxious.  But I felt like He was holding my hand and saying,
"I got this!"

Peace and goodness,

Zita :)

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

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 Two, Day 50: Mindful Biking

More breaking ground today. I rode my bike to the Max, and then to my first student, who coincidentally lives close to my gym.  Maggie waiting patiently for me at the gym, 6/28/2016 I am starting to notice positive changes from my daily biking.  First of all, I feel such a sense of freedom and exhiliration when I hop on and take off.  It reminds me of my childhood. My brother and I rode all over Vancouver, WA on summer break.  It was my first experience of independence from a rather harsh father.  Back then we didn't wear helmets. And there were many hills. I will never forget the joy of coasting down a hill with the wind in my hair. I have hints of the feeling now. I also have noticed my energy is higher. And although I am sore (cycling uses muscles that I have not worked in awhile), I am getting stronger. Feeling strong! Cycling is also good for my mind. I find myself going through routes in my head. I am hoping to add more routes to my day...
