Early Morning Miracle


I got this idea from the book, The Five A.M.  Miracle by Jeff Sanders to wake up early, run, and be productive the rest of the day.

Guess what? I woke up at five and did meditation this morning.

I really mean I woke up but I did not get up. I fell asleep after meditation.

By the time I headed out and have my dogs leashed ready for the early morning walk, it was 6:50. Boy was I slow.

The breeze was cool. It was 32 degrees after all. With my down vest, long sleeve shirt over my polyester top, capri leggings under pants, compression stockings, and gloves, I was ready for the cool air slapping my face. As we were approaching the park more than a mile away, I opened my vest zipper to vent the warm air accumulating inside of me. The cold air felt good. There was less people and dogs in the park too, so less distractions that my dogs get into. Snowball, my older dog, would try to pick a fight, usually with dogs at least twice the size of his fluffy miniature poodle body. They did not bother with the geese, either. The birds were distant walking on the icy lake, so thin, that it looks like water. 

I did three miles of walk including the jog and walk all the way home and donated my miles for housing worldwide using the Charity Miles app. Every cent adds up. Today I donated seventy cents with Johnson and Johnson sponsoring me.

What a great morning. 

I need to do more reading on The Five A.M. Miracle book to inspire me to get up instantly after meditation. Getting started this morning was a little slow for me.

But now I feel great and energized. It will be a good day.

What inspired you this morning?

The Visit in the Snowstorm


Flowers to lift my spirit
On, an otherwise, lonely day
The sadness, I had to bear it
On this cold and snowy day

I brave myself to visit
My teens in juvenile hall
I pass an accident and traffic
It is worth it after all

I visit them together
In one room we share and laugh
In this cold and ugly weather
Our togetherness is enough

Ironic, we have quality time
In this small room where we're timed
One hour we're allowed to visit
It's precious and seem just fine



Frozen

Frozen Lake, Self-improvement blog, 5K preparation
Frozen lake, feet, and hands
Our My World Tuesday
If ninety percent of jogging ability is mental, why are my feet and hands frozen after a-mile jog?

Perhaps, I don't make sense. I blame it on the 19-degree weather. Oh, why oh why I signed up to this 5K prep this winter?!

But you know what, I feel great! Today anyway.
