I guess I'm not sure what to make of my funk - but it seems like I feel more like an observer to life than a participant. Maybe my bucket is just empty. Tonight is a fellowship dinner at our church for the ladies. Hopefully, that will help propell me out of my crap attitude. That and the 6 miles I have to run later.
*Update: I didn't run 6 miles, there simply wasn't time when I got home so I did my Ins. recovery video. Recovery my butt - although it did receive a good workout. My first thought was "hey, this video is only 33 minutes... wha hoo" By minute 8, my legs were burning, my shoulders were burning and I was screaming (silently of course) "count faster!!" After doing 16 reps of slow lunges, he had the audacity so say "hold that position." I glanced at the TV and thought "you must be kidding me." With legs shaking and face determined, I considered my old saying "what fresh hell is this?" But, I knew, I had been here before. So I concentrated on his mantra "dig deeper." I thought '10 seconds, I can do 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8, oh no I can't, 7, 6, oh hold on, 5, 4, breathe, 3, 2, 1. "yes!" Switch sides . . . Oh, hell no. In the end, I finished the workout. It was a grueling 33 minutes. His fast pace videos are similar to getting a flu shot - quick, a little painful, but done for a desired purpose. This video is like getting novicaine from a dentist - slow, painful, and in the end everything feels numb. I can say that because when I went to do 2 miles on my walking video - everything ached when I moved - the good ache - not injury.
When I arrived at the pot luck supper, I was glad to have a little extra calories to play with. Half my plate was for fresh fruits, salad and vegetables. I indulged on one meatball, a small spoon of rice, and a small spoon of mac and cheese. All in all, it was a great dinner - I savored the mac and cheese - totally mindful eating. More on that another time. The presentation was about writing your faith story with 25 words.
My initial thought was to compare it the old Name This Tune TV show. I can share the gospel in 25 words, I can share it in 22 words. (I can actually share it in four "Jesus died for me.")
But I was wrong, it is based on 25 words - for example "conversation" You then write a story - about your faith - using the word "conversation" as an inspiration and use a photo to show it. The instructor used a photo of her and her best friend walking on the beach. She is having a workshop to teach this later on (if anyone is interested). Its a great idea and I look forward to writing my own Faith Story.
