Exercising our creativity is critical

Walmart tire repair
Drove to Walmart to have tire repaired and walked 5k roundtrip to gym (worked out) while i waited.

 

Did the gym workout backwards yesterday; so the first exercise i did was what is normally done last, and what is normally first was last.

The week is structured for bicycling and gym on Mondays, Wednesdays,  and Fridays.

Since i missed Wednesday, Thursday became the makeup day.

Flex when you have to.

And find a million ways to stay motivated.

The alternative is creative excuses to miss.

Too many misses spell disaster.

If the pants fit

Jeans threads
Wow. The fine details of pants.

 

If the pants fit, wear them.

Stay well so your clothes fit well.

Novel concept.

Closer inspection suggests it’s way more than novel.

Immune system fighting the good fight

Rosen Centre ballroom
Rosen Centre ballroom…7am yesterday…other than the event organizer, i was the first one there.

 

Rosen Centre ballroom
Rosen Centre ballroom…little did i know my stomach would start turning upside down by mid-morning. Had to make it until 3pm, otherwise i would have let the group down.

 

Immune system fighting the good fight.

Thank goodness.

Stomach bug going around.

Our son stayed home from school while i attended the Ethical Decision Making workshop as a table leader for nine International High School students.

Ultimately, it was the small trash can next to me that provided the security blanket to wait our turn to present a critical case study.

Drove home with a trash bag on my lap. Deep body aches and several hours nap calmed the stomach, but the aches continue even as i write this.

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.

 

Can you approach today with joy?

Yesterday’s ride happened after a decent breakfast.

 

Can you approach today with joy?

Yes, it sounds like a stupid question.

Come to a full and complete stop at every stop sign?

Drive the speed limit?

Eat a healthy breakfast before rushing out the door.

Get some decent exercise before breakfast?

Silly now?

Yes, joyfully silly.

We exercised our experimentation

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

 

Lifebridge Church Windermere
Six singers, three guitarists, one keyboard, and one drummer.

 

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.
