Today was a movement day and it felt great!  For once my body was firing on all cylinders (I think that's a car reference to running great!) Lol.  

I was up at 6 am (couldn't sleep in if my life depended on it!), had some coffee on my patio, read a little bit then decided I needed to move.  My trusted two-wheeled steed and I headed out before it got too hot and did a short ride of 5 miles.  It was just enough to get the blood pumping and legs moving.  I could've stayed out all day but had plans for today.  More movement!   I did a build class at 11am and a base class at 12pm  followed by teaching Yoga at 1pm and teaching a recovery and relaxation class at 2pm.  I feel energized and accomplished!  I have a philosophy of "use it or lose it"...and while I can still use it, I'm going to.  I don't know what tomorrow brings, so I'm doing what I can today.   

The yoga student who suffered a tragic fall (TBI and subderal hematoma) in my class 6 weeks ago (she passed out and fell backwards 😢) came to the recovery and relaxation class today.  It sure was good to see her back!  She is still experiencing dizziness so doing Yoga is still out of the question for now.  Regardless, it did my heart good to see her in front of me. 

It's 1530 and I'm outside relaxing on my patio.  The sky is cloudy, it's 87 and thunder rolls all around me; it's rather calming.  I should take advantage of the post gym energy, but maybe I'll just relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the brewing storms; they carry their own magic and energy.

From what I read it looks like you've had a busy day today, lady! Good for you. I totally agree with your "use it or lose it" attitude. Keep up the good work. I must say that you're looking quite healthy, energetic and pleased with yourself in that pic that you've posted :-)

The weather here has been pretty hot for the last several days (80-90F), with little rain expected. I don't know if climate change is going to affect our summer here this year but it already has manifested itself in some of our western provinces and now also in one of our eastern maritime provinces with forest fires. It's great that our country's forest fire fighters are getting international help from the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Canada has agreements to share firefighters with six other countries -- the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico and Costa Rica. For 9 months (2019-2020) Australia experienced many forest fires (mostly caused by lightning) so I guess this year it's Canada's turn for some hot times.

But, as they say - this too shall pass ...

Rob, I've been hearing about your extreme heat and those forest fires. I fear that global warming is indeed taking this Continent in it's grasp....it is hot everywhere. The heat we are experiencing now is generally experienced in late July or early August. I love it warm, given alour cold winters, but not everyone can tolerate the heat or the dry conditions -especially those in fire regions, farmers, etc. Hope you and yours have a great Monday and week ahead. Take care!

Thanks Sherry. Truth be told, like yourself I too much prefer warm (or even hot) weather any time over cold winter days. Have a great week ahead yourself.

Welcome to the Shit Show!

 I'm trying not to breaking one of my hard and fast rules - do not  talk politics or religion .  But for the love of all things holy, I cannot not   comment on the total shit show of last nights presidential debate.     America, we're screwed!     I want the chance to write in a candidate.  I think anyone would be a better option than the two we have right now.  UGGGHHHH!   I'm soooooo tired of the bickering . right vs. left.  I'm tired of the media, I'm tired of black lives matter (ALL LIVES MATTER, shit heads!), cop kiilings, riots and the disrespect and downright hatred  of the flag, of our Country!   I'm scared for everyone concerned.  I feel  the anger, the despair, the lack of consideration and respect - not only for the country -but for humanity .   I heard Savanna Guthrie , NBC Today Show, say that Social Media was the cesspool of society."   I couldn't have said it bet...

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas 2022, I had promised Blaine that I would take him to Million (aka Michael) and get his UJ (University of Jamestown) tattoo recolored.  Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and I couldn't fulfill my promise to him. Christmas 2023 I was  subtly  reminded that I owed him his gift from last year!  He forgets  to brush his teeth or clean his apartment but gosh darn he sure remembers if it's something he wants!  Michael was all about making it look like new again and hooked us up with an appointment yesterday.   What a day!!! We started out with coffee and egg McMuffins and plenty of conversation as we rolled down the interstate! I think his mouth was going faster than we were traveling! We covered so man y topics! We laughed a lot but cried a bit too as we remembered the farm and grandpa and grandma. After the tattoo, we went ro Scheels for a few more Christmas gifts.. a swim bag for his Special Olympics swimming gea...

A Repeat...

Once in a while I receive a request to "repeat" a blog post. This is one of the repeat posts that I hope you all enjoy the 2nd time around. It was originally posted in May of 2008. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Greetings Everyone, I received an email about 9 years ago from a far-away-friend that touched me to the core. It was entitled "Life's Lessons." I printed it out and tucked it away to read when I needed some inspiration. I ran across it awhile ago and, not surprisingly, it touched me as much now as it did then. So, to my friend Lee - wherever you may be, thank you for sending me something so beautiful and for thinking of me. Be well My friend. Life's Lessons Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your ...
