Year Three, Days 192 & 193: My Blogligation

The Face of Shame!

I have my shame face on.

I was so tired last night, that I fell asleep without blogging! I woke up this morning with a start, realizing what I had done. I felt most guilty!

I feel some consolation knowing that I am establishing good life habits, that I feel guilty about when I do not keep up with.

Like my hooping. I am most proud of my hooping! Today is day 156! Here are the videos for days 156 and 155, since I didn't get around to posting yesterday:

I had a start just now. I have had such a nice, leisurely day so far. I hooped. I prayed and journaled. I practiced piano and started planning for my next concert. And then my old friend "J" the sign guy from the church I used to work out texted me and asked me to lunch!

We had a lovely time at the Chinese restaurant up the street. When I am not stressed out, I truly enjoy friends!

Then I got on the bus and headed to my favorite Starbucks for tea and contemplation.

Then I got on yet another bus, to stop at the library and update my blog before my students. But, AAK - there was a sign on the door that their internet was disabled temporarily. I went in anyway. I asked the librarian when it would be up and running. She said, "Any time now". I said, "Whatever would we do without internet? Horrifying!"

She said, "That is my idea of the apocalypse. No internet."

I agree.

But as we spoke, it came back on. Hallelujah!

I need to dash though. I am due to teach a student in 15 minutes. And then, since there is no choir practice tonight (Thanksgiving week), I will hop on the Max and head towards Vancouver to see my Grand Bambino! So excited! She has been trying to say "Hi" and "Mama" the last few days. Love that little girl!

But I feel better now, having fulfilled my blogligation for the day!

Happy Tuesday!

Talk to you tomorrow. I promise!

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 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!
