Slacking...Of Sorts....

Well, I haven't meant to be slacking on my blog, but judging from the date of the last entry, that's just what I've done...I haven't always had something to report, or have been busy at work or at home, so something had to be let go of...But wanted to share that things are rosy in my corner of the world right now. The pic really is a visual cue as to where I feel in my head right now...The road isn't always clear, but it's lovely and I'm enjoying the journey! It hasn't been that way 100% of the time since the last post...

I hit a rough patch last week...Work really took over and I had to work physically and mentally beyond past limitations! I was able to maintain the workouts, though, and keep up with responsibilities on the homefront. Where I wobbled was giving in to sweets on/off for a few days...But, Monday brought another fresh start and I am cleared of the garbage I had taken in...

Thankfully things calmed down in life to a moderate pace and I am enjoying life again at the "slower" pace. The trainer continues to push me past my expectations and I am pleased to report that while trotting on the treadmill last night, I could see "the zone" where running can become something meditative! My breath was easily maintained...The only residual effect of last night's efforts are an aching a** and upper thighs! Yeah, I'm working it...ha-ha.

I'm also concentrating on growing my spirit...A few minutes ago, I had to call about a malfunctioning TV we have at home. The person I spoke to reported that 2 0f the 3 parts are in, but the third is backordered...Initially, my tummy responded to the anxiety by turning over...But then I told myself, "It's only a TV and God is even in control of that and He will make it all work out well as He does everything"...A good thing, to NOT be in control and have my omnipotent Father have it....

So, instead of worrying about a TV, I decided to catch up with this....I'm grateful to see friends progressing on life's journey and it's fun that we can share each other's stories with these blogs...and sometimes encourage each other as we need to as well! Keep on the straight and narrow path all! The wobbles are a waste of time...

Wanted to see how it´s going for you, and see that you´re doing well. Was thinking it´s closer to Greece time for you. The weather is getting cooler...well, not like winter, but definitely more like Fall. I just LUV summer so will hate to miss all the sun and heat soon. Glad you are going well with your workouts....thinking of you!

Thanks Lynda!! Yes, soon we'll be taking off for Greece...I picked up a new straw hat for shading when we're there! Cannot wait!

My workouts and food are going very well and I feel healthy, happy and gratefully alive!

Hugs,
