I need a nap!
Gracious Sakes!!! I don't know if it's the prospect of turning another year older, the coolness of the fall air, my hectic schedule, or all of the aforementioned, but I'm in serious need of a nap!
I don't like to take naps because they disrupt my sleep schedule in the evening and I don't want to become dependent on them to get me through the day. So rather than taking a nap, I'm catching up on some bookwork, updating contacts in my email, and listening to football on the TV.
Speaking of football - how about the Bison yesterday....trouncing all over the CCSU Blue Devils??! Rock on ND!! Now, I wouldn't want to gloat or anything, but seems to me the "farm boys" took it upon themselves to spank the east coast pansies! I personally didn't attend NDSU, but my two nieces and nephew Matt did - so I'm gloating on their behalf! ~L~
What else is going on? My sister Peg took me and T out for supper last night to Grizzley's and we had a fantastic time! It had been far too long since we've gone out together like that (hopefully it won't be as long between next time)!
Went to Church this morning and it was great to "fill my cup" with the good Word from Him. I sat beside Janet, one of my yoga students, and we had a very nice conversation and got to know one another a little better. Turns out her husband passed away last October from a battle with cancer. In mentioning that my sister also lost her husband a little over a year ago, we discovered that she and her husband were members of the dance club that Peg and Earl belonged to. Small world...no...small town! I cannot escape my sister's shadow! ~LOL~ (Just kidding Peg!!) Everyone is like...."YOU'RE Peg's sister????". I've never been much in the public eye - until I started teaching yoga - and now people are putting two and two together that the town's social butterfly (that would be you Peg) is my sister.
Folks, let me tell you - it's an extreme honor to be known as Peg B.'s little sister!!!
I saw this today while surfing the internet and thought I would share it with you -
The Seven Wonders of the World
Author Unknown
Junior high school students in Chicago were
studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At
the end of the lesson, the students were asked
to list what they considered to be the Seven
Wonders of the World. Though there was some
disagreement, the following received the
most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to touch...
2. to taste...
3. to see...
4. to hear... (She hesitated a little, and then added...)
5. to feel...
6. to laugh...
7. and to love.
The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.
May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don't have to travel anywhere special to experience them.
Enjoy your gifts!
