Year Three, Day 362: Focusing on Year Four

I am nearing the end of my third year of this blog. Year Three, Day 365 will land smack dab on Mother's Day. Perfect!

I feel like I am limping along, perhaps even crawling to the finish line. My energy is low. Motivation practically nonexistent.

Perhaps I should set some goals for Year Four. Need focus to keep me going.

My successful pot of beans did perk me up yesterday. I was thrilled with how easy they were to prepare. Not to mention the taste and texture.

Then there is the money saved, which is why I have been focused on beans lately.

I was going to sleep in this morning. I had one of my 2 a.m. bouts of insomnia this morning.

But my daughter called and told me to wake up. She and Gracie were coming to pick me up and go out for pho!

Of course, I could not resist.

Two of my favorite people, and one of my favorite lunches!

Gracie was in a good mood: cheerful and curious. She was mesmerized with the ceiling fans at the pho restaurant.

We went to "Pho Huy" in Clackamas Square on SE 82nd near Winco. A new favorite.

I am going to ponder my new focus for year four of this blog. Perhaps I should look back at old posts to see how far I've come.

In the next few days I should have a clear vision. But for now, I'm focused on my love for my family, joy in my work, faith in God, and...

BEANS!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

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!

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 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...
