Year Three, Day 152: White Rabbit




I saw the little white rabbit again today. Twice. He is so cute! One of his eyes has a black circle around it. And he has a little black stripe down this back. He let me get quite close to take a video and picture.  I am wondering if he was someone's pet.  I don't often see white rabbits in the wild. I put up a post on Facebook. I may also put up a post on Craigslist.  I don't know if he'll come out again though. I'd hate to lead someone on a "wild rabbit chase".

But his appearance makes me happy. I feel like I have been visited by an angel.

Speaking of angels, I am heading to Vancouver tonight after my last student. I am going to spend the night at my daughter and son-in-law's house. Tomorrow I am going to the mall with my daughter and Baby Grace!  I am looking forward to seeing them.

I slept late again today, but once I got up, I accomplished quite a bit. Including 1 hour of piano practice, laundry, and prayer, devotional reading over breakfast.

I am noticing my wheezy cough is creeping back.  It zaps my energy.  I went ahead and made an appointment with my doctor for this Friday. I hope he doesn't put me on steriods again. I worry about the side effects. Although it always zaps my cough!

Other then my wheeze, I am feeling quite balanced today. I love having the extra time in the morning.  I did my hooping on the back sidewalk. It was quite cold, blustery and damp this morning. I don't like hooping in confined spaces, but the beauty of the hoop workout is that it CAN BE DONE ALMOST ANYWHERE! (In other words, no excuses!) :)

Today is day 116 of my daily hoop adventure:





I was starting to worry a bit about finances after the demise of my church secretary job, but coincidentally (or not!),  the pastor from the little Presbyterian church I subbed at a month or so ago, texted me yesterday. They would like me to come back in November.

I am thinking about what I read yesterday in my Joyce Meyer Book (The Mind Connection: How the Thoughts You Choose Affect Your Mood, Behavior and Decisions, Joyce Meyer). She said to focus your energy on your purpose and calling.  I think I would really like to stay focused on everything musical in my life. I did hear about a very part time administrative job that can be mostly done from home.  I am considering this position if it doesn't interfere with my musical career.

I may sound like a broken record, but I want to keep my priorities straight.

My priorities are:

  1. God
  2. Family
  3. Teaching
  4. Piano performance
  5. Writing
  6. Health 

It's hard to put them in order. They are all connected!   We are all connected! I suppose I should put "community" on there, but I am not sure where I fit in, other than a citizen of the US and a part of this world.  I will continue to ponder my priorities and add more as I see fit.

But right now, I need to head to my next student's house. It has begun to rain again. And I heard thunder! I wish I could just spend the rest of the afternoon here in my library office. It is most cozy here!

At least we don't have raging wildfires like California.  They are definitely in my prayers.

I hope that you are all having a happy and safe Wednesday!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

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 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...
