Watching the Olympics. It's hard to imagine the strength these athletes have. The training they must endure. I am tempted to think that If I had half their ambition, I could lose the weight and get fit again. But then I don't have the undivided time to commit. There is always someone or something vying for my attention. But the good Lord has guided me to this place and I believe I am where I'm supposed to be. So though I marvel at what a human being can accomplish, I realize I have accomplish some marvelous things as well. Birthing seven children for one thing. Being married for 38 years, another. Sharing the language of music to many a children's mass or school class over the years, etc etc. not to blow my own horn but the point is we all have achieved greatness in our lives. We just don't always get an Olympic medal for it!
Aside from that, here is my 'fess up part - I did not get to WW this week, nor did I get much exercise in. The blog is part of my accountability so I don't want to deny it. It's been a month since I started it and I have been faithful to at least an every other day entry. So time to get back on track with the exercise. I think I need to drink more water as well.
I served quinoa for dinner tonight. Those of us who ate it thought it was pretty good. It will take awhile to fully integrate that into our dinner menus! People don't like to eat what they can't pronounce!
I drove across the lake to Joanna's today to help her with some house reorganizing. When I take that 40 minute ride I usually listen to a podcast (Joyce Myer) or recorded People of Praise teaching on my iPhone. It's a great way to pass the time and I am so inspired by the time I arrive.
A quick shout out to Jesuit high school whose drama club hosted the miracle league kids Friday and taught them some song and dance numbers. Lots of fun for Stephen.
