My stiff neck theory

Our necks slowly become stiff because we lose our awe and wonder and subsequent looking around.

Our neck.

Don’t use it, we lose it.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Seven months of zero to low mileage got tested

Wellness journey — Yesterday, first time in seven months running five miles… 8.03kilometers equals 5 miles.

Seven months of zero to low mileage.

Stopped running entirely in April and May.

The only reason i began running this summer was to help our son, you know, easy, 10-12 minutes per mile, one, two miles at most.

When he joined the Cross-Country team in August, i continued running two to three miles – three times a week – because the running was pain-free. The reason i stopped running was simple. It was painful.

Wanted to try one last ditch thing to eradicate chronic right ankle/calf pain.

i planned (and was excited to know it would be a 2016 milestone) to run five miles and the pace was slow enough to remain pain-free, and just enjoy the privilege.

He got athletes to take art class

Memorial service for High School art teacher and football coach — The Varsity High School Football team taking the stage two nights ago.

He got athletes to take art class.

Brad Ramsey, Windermere Prep’s IB (International Bachelorette) Art teacher and assistant football coach is best and overwhelmingly remembered as a renaissance man.

Wondering if he got artists to go out for sports.

Probably.

The day begins the night before

Does waking up excite you?

Does waking up feel like a chore?

Hit the snooze repeatedly?

Can’t wait for your alarm to go off?

Going to bed early to get adequate rest is one of the most elusive habits for adults.

There will always be exceptions, and unpredictable issues keeping us awake later, but on average, we should be in control of the rest of our time.

We exercised our experimentation

Lifebridge Church Windermere — We knew there’d be lively music.

We exercised our experimentation and fed our curiosity.

The music was lively and passionate.

As the fourth song was ending, i noticed that people were still arriving.

It took four songs before the arrivals stopped. We all have many reasons for being late.

The Church uses the songs to pass the time until everyone arrives. The people who are late might rationalize that being late is okay because the main message doesn’t start until 20 minutes past the hour.

The songs also set the mood and tone, serving as a bridge from Earthly issues to Heavenly issues.

Late arrivals miss the warm up.

Olympic athletes and world-class musicians never skip their warm up before an important effort.

It’s part of the reason they’re world class.
