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

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...
