Year Four, Day 91:In an Irish Way

At the Library :)

Here I am again. At my favorite library. I just dropped off another hat in the cold weather box. It makes me happy to see my hat sitting there waiting for a head to warm.

My new hat

Just like yesterday, I do not have much time to blog today
. In fact, I have even less time, since I am on a 15 minute computer. And I spent 8 minutes researching anglo concertinas. I checked out a few traditional Irish tune books. It is fitting that I am in a an Irish way. Friday is March 1st. St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner!

I managed to do a very good thing this morning. I got out of bed one hour earlier than usual. I was awake before anyone in the household, including Gracie and Honey Dog! I did the dishes, made some hot tea, put a pot of congee on the stove and did my bible study. It was wonderful!

Tomorrow I plan on doing more of the same, but inserting some stretching and hooping.

Exercise has vanished from my routine. Which explains a lot! I could blame the cold weather. But I won't. I blame lazy me!

That is all I have time for today. But at least I made contact!

Happy Wednesday!

Love,

Zita

p.s. I am going to go out on a limb here and declare that I will exercise tomorrow and live to blog about it!

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!
