Year Four, Day 143: Zma's Circle

I am going to be a grandma again! Or shall I say, "I'm going to be a Zma again!?"

That sounds funny. I am a grandma, and I just found out my son and his girlfriend are expecting a baby boy in November! :)

It just occurred to me. I had a girl and then two years later a boy.

Then my daughter had a baby girl and two years later my son is having a baby boy.

The circle of life! I better start knitting some baby hats!

It gets better. I raised my kids alone.  My son suffered from having an absent father. And now that he is getting his life together, living clean and sober, working full time, involved with a beautiful, kind woman, he has told me he wants to break the cycle. He wants to be fully involved in his son's life.

How cool is that!?

My heart is swelling with love and pride for my family.

And, despite getting very little sleep last night, I am feeling energetic and clear headed!

Happiness does that to me.

I went from my son and his girlfriend's "gender reveal party" last night straight to choir practice, where I led sectionals alone for two hours!

I am woman, hear me roar! 

I was on a baby high!  I can't wait to meet this little fella!

We do heal from our past if we allow ourselves!

And now I must high tail it to my next piano student's home.

Happy Wednesday!

Love,

Zita
aka "Zma"





p.s. No QI Gong/Hooping video today.  I didn't wake up early enough. (Didn't get home until nearly midnight last night after choir practice!)  I plan on hitting the gym on the way home today.  Just keeping myself accountable! :)

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!
