Year Three, Day 96: Reuniting with My Old Friend

I am playing my piano again. It feels good. Like reuniting with an old friend.

I am feeling the need to re-prioritize.  Fall is just around the corner. New grandbaby on the way!

And a solar eclipse is threatening to disrupt our lives.  I spoke with a lovely lady from the church where I work in the office weekday mornings.  She said she and her husband have gotten eclipse fever. Especially since she just realized she will not be around for the next eclipse of this magnitude, 39 years from now.

I probably won't either. Unless I plan on living until I'm 94!  I guess I'd be o.k. with that. As long as I don't outlive my loved ones. And I can still hula hoop, walk and play my piano!

But what really affected my perception, was the realization that my granddaughter will be 39 at the next eclipse!

Life is so short. I told my friend from church that we will probably be in heaven. Watching the next eclipse with Jesus.

I like that.

I had a nice hoop session this morning. By my favorite tree. But as usual, I feel like I need to work this bod harder. So, after my piano students this afternoon, I am heading straight to the gym for some strength training!

Besides Dr. Davis, another doctor I follow online is Dr. Hyman.  He posted an idea for making a salad bar that you keep in your fridge at home. I have done something similar in the past. Cut up veggies and put them in separate little tupperware containers. Grab and assemble a salad in the morning.  And this is perfect timing. My life is about to get very busy. I will not have much time for food prep or cooking. But I do not want to be at the mercy of restaurant eating.

I like how Dr. Hyman lays it out in his post.  Always nice to have a visual reminder!

Here is the link to Dr. Hyman's Super Salad Bar post:

As usual, I have more thoughts, but not enough time to put them into writing.  They will keep until tomorrow. I"ll talk to you then...

Happy Wednesday!

Peace and 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...
