Year Three, Day 52: I Feel Much More Alive!

Today is my son's birthday. He is 25 years old. I just posted a picture shrine for him on Facebook. I haven't been able to reach him by phone though. I worry when I can't reach him.

But I have been in this place before. I'll just keep praying and living my life, and trusting him to God's care.

It was so much easier when he was little...sigh

But even though he is grown up, he is still my child.

Here is a picture of us a few years ago on his birthday in Salem. I had taken him out for sushi:

I had talked to his girlfriend last week. I told her I would like to take them out for dinner tonight. If I can find him!

Say a prayer for him if you are the praying kind!

On a happy note, my scale inched down another few notches! I weight in at 185. 2 this morning.
I have a goal to be at 180 by August 1, 2017. According to my weightcommander app, I am right on target!

I had a nice hoop workout this morning. Day 18.

I am not teaching tonight because of my son's birthday. I hope to stay within my eating parameters. Even if I don't, I plan on getting to the gym tonight.

I am also going out to lunch with my wonderful friend from work. I call him the "Sign Ninja" because he is in charge of changing the lettering on the sign. We are probably having Chinese. I may have to avoid the scale tomorrow!

I think starting and ending the day with exercise is key for me. I feel much more alive!

Speaking of which, I need to get on with my life! I wish you a wonderful day full of life, peace and joy!

Talk to you tomorrow.

Peace, Love and Joy,

Zita

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...
