Difficult

It is really really hard to be half a world apart from the one I love. Fifteen timezones is hard to calculate and the circadium rhythms are all upside down, morning to evening, bedtime to lunch, holy mackeral, I expected it to be a challenge, but this is crazy.

You Don't Have to Eat it All

I realized that the days of finish everything on the plate are long gone.

I was out to breakfast the other morning with my daughter and a friend of hers. As it turned out she and I were going to order the same thing. I suggested that we split it, I wasn't going to eat a whole omelette and she wasn't either. It was the perfect thing to do, because I probably would have eaten more than I need to if not everything on my plate.

Her friend didn't even come close to eating half of her order of french toast.

The mentality of finish it all. Do it all. Get it all done is maybe not the right way to go. Working out in the yard past dark. Doing all the weeding. Over doing it until I become a wreck.

I don't have to do all my laundry on one day. I can do a load here and there. I don't have to do all the filing, get a good start and be happy. Stuff will get put away when it gets put away, I don't have to unpack my suitcase the day I get home from a trip.

I don't have to eat it all.

Yoga Is Hard

I don't know why it still seems to amaze me that yoga is hard. I took a class last night sort of returning to the discipline after a vacation from it. I felt all my muscles that at one time were able to stretch, now all tight again.

I really like the feeling of working my body and it is nice to be at the gym on a Friday night getting some blood flow and some flexibility and balance, but yoga is quite hard, especially if I don't keep it up.

Exercise is Good For You

I figured this out almost all by myself.

I know that long term regular exercise is supposed to be good for you and leads to a healthier life.

But did you know that I feel good after working out? I mean, really, I went to the gym yesterday and I felt good while I was exercising and I felt good when I got back to the office. That put a smile on my face and that is really good for me.

Time Doesn"t Stand Still

Getting older?

Seasons changing?

Days, weeks, months and years marching along?

Guess what? Time doesn't stand still.

McDonalds Should Pay Me

Again today I remembered that McDonalds had to put a warning on its coffee cups that the beverage inside might be hot. Caution. Hot coffee is hot. Beerages made with boiling water are hot and may burn if you pour them in your lap or onto your tongue without due care.

I scoff, but again today I burned by tongue on a cup of tea that I tried to sip mere moments after pouring water from the kettle over the tea bag.

If only there were a way to get McDonalds to compensate me for my sore tongue.

Cold Feet

I think I have cold feet.
Yesterday I was driving to work and adjusted the airflow in my car.
I had it dialed in to defrost and to the floorboard.
I was having trouble with getting just the right temperature.
Ya know closer to blue or closer to red.
After 45 minutes I noticed that I had the A/C on!
No wonder I had cold feet.

How Smart Am I ?

You don't know what you don't know !

Caffeine

Did you know that coffee cures headaches?
Or is it the caffeine addiction that causes headaches?
Did you know that there is such a thing as cause and effect?

Home in Bed

I couldn't have picked a better day to stay home.
The is rain coming down in sheets.
It would be a good day to curl up with a book
And a bowl of soup.
I guess I am sick.
