Gym this morning. O’ dark too flippin’ early!
And what a difference an hour makes! Tired body! Wide awake! Here comes the sun!!!
Post workout breakfast: Coffee. Banana and peanut butter. YUM!!
Happy Day to all!

My workout partner bailed on me this morning. (payback for yesterday….hmmmm…nah.) Probably a good thing, because we did opposite body parts yesterday and that was going to make for a tricky workout, by Thursday we’ll be good! So, I ‘ll hit it again at lunch today, which is fine by me.
Rather than go back to bed, I had my bon-bon time this morning. Catching up on blogs. Sending out a couple of emails. Chatting with Hubby. And you watch, somehow I will still end up running late this morning. <sigh>
Yesterday, I was listening to a podcast by Pat Gohn and she was talking about “social tithing” and rethinking how we come across this vast internet and the “what if” we gave 1/10 of our social media time, tweets, status updates, blogs, etc to God. A grateful tweet. A shout out to God.
Then a friend posted on Facebook, “Break my heart for what breaks Yours”.
And I’ve been chewing on it subconsciously. I think (I hope) it showed in enjoying the time with Hubby and the girls at the beach last night for an evening “surf practice” and swim session. And in putting the kids to bed last night. And in being grateful for the chaos of the morning rush (coming soon). And in looking forward to the “End-of-the-year” singing concert for our youngest tonight. And in watching old home movies last night. Much to be thankful and a reminder of priorities and what’s really important.
Before I go though, this quote was in my “Small steps for Catholic Moms” this morning and kind of ties those thoughts together:
“The soul which remains attached to anything, even to the least thing, however many its virtues may be, will never arrive at the liberty of the divine union. It matters little whether a bird be fastened by a stout or slender cord–as long as he does not break it, slender as it may be, it will prevent him from flying freely.” St. John Chrysostom
**and don’t forget the rest of the May bloggers:
Or eventually it will give you no choice. Yesterday, I blogged about my headache. That was earlier in the day. After I picked up our girls from Religious Ed. I came home, and promptly got into bed to REALLY get rid of that meddling headache for once and all. It was about 11:45 a.m. I briefly said hello to Hubby when he came in to check on me after Mass and the next thing I knew….it was 2:45 p.m. So much for the day!!! I had two hours to kill before Mass with the girls @ 5!! (so we made Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls to continue celebrating our Easter Octave!!) However, my headache was GONE. And boy, was I rested!! I thought I’d have a hard time going to sleep last night, but ZERO problem. In fact, I was supposed to get up and meet my girlfriend at the gym and after turning off my alarm, fell BACK to sleep for another 90 minutes. OY! I’m blaming it on the ceiling fans. It’s really making sleep phenomenal. But truly, I obviously needed the sleep and since I didn’t give my body what it needed, it took it anyway. So beware!! What are you neglecting YOUR body of? You might want to tend to those oversights, otherwise the body may just take over and give you no choice.
Have a great day! Check in with the rest of the May-bloggers and see what they’ve been up to, hopefully they’ve been doing more than sleeping!!
See? Our cat has NO problem just sleeping whenever he feels like it. I should take my cue from him!
Here I sit in my quiet Sunday morning house. Not a sound except my typing on the laptop. Bliss. As rare as the supermoon. OK, more than that, but pretty scarce. Yesterday was a seriously full day, ironic since, on Friday, my girlfriend and I were both basking in the fact that neither of us had a single plan for the entire weekend. And we didn’t have a plan..but here’s how it shook out anyway:
Then, unfortunately, I woke @ 4:30 a.m. with the beginnings of a migraine. took an aspirin and went back to bed. Made it through the morning and coffee helped but still needed another aspirin and am waiting for the last of it to kick off!! Blessedly, they don’t come often!!
And so, Hubby wanted to try out surfing and left with a neighbor about 6:30 a.m. The girls have Religious Ed this morning between Masses. So…..Hubby and the boys went to 11 a.m. Mass and I’ll take the girls tonight to Youth Mass. And that’s left me with some nice quiet time to let this headache finish up. A silver lining, huh? 🙂
Therefore, today will be “restful”. As it should be. At least one day a week. Happy Sunday!!
