Another Beautiful Day

It' an absolutely beautiful day. The air is crisp & brisk, not too cold, perfect for a walk, which I'm getting ready to go for. I was amazed last night, I went to Target and walked around for a couple of hours (it was raing outside so I couldn't just go for a walk) I felt great after that. My legs didn't feel 100% before I went, but they were great afterward, so now that I realize how good the walking is for me I'm making sure to do a couple of walks a day and it's great when the weather is this beautiful!

I walk to the bagel shop on the corner to blog, it's great because the music they play is soft rock that I really like. So it's a win win, I'm out seeing people, getting fresh air & exercise, great music and I get to talk to all of you! What more could a girl ask for? I'm going to reactivate my Facebook account, so I can follow all the stuff on Bharata's page. I just want to let everyone know, I never really figured out how it works, so don't be offended if you send me a message or something and I don't respond, I just haven't figured it out! That's actually why I went inactive before, I was afraid people were getting upset because I wasn't responding, but it was just too confusing - apparently social networking is too high tech for me! We'll see what happens this time! This can be a test of whether or not you can teach an old dog new tricks :-)

Bharata & I don't watch TV, in fact we don't even have a TV, we gave it away. So basically I haven't watched TV for 10 years, but I love Christmas shows & movies, so I figured they'll be starting this weekend. I can't imagine channel surfing to see what's on, so I've been trying to find a TV Guide (which were everywhere 10 years ago) they're harder to find than a winning lottery ticket! Is TV Guide ( the small weekly magazine book) still being published or am I chasing a ghost from the past? I guess maybe people are into channel surfing these days and don't need guides, who knows!

I'm getting ready to head down the street towards Starbucks, the bus stop is down there someplace according to Google Transit. I'm thinking about just going for a bus ride to check it out. Have to decide which direction to head. The funny part is I'll be heading right or left, I have no concept of easy vs. West, north or south - I'm usually not to bad with directions like that, but I think it's just I'm not really oriented to the middle of the country, even on paper. I have a vague concept of where Ohio is, but It isn't like being on the east or west coast, which I'm familiar with, so I think that's the problem. This way it makes me feel better about it anyway! :-)

Well, I'm going to head out now and get my exercise and fresh air. I really think with the combination of congenital and alternative treatments, I'm going to beat this. I believe it just goes to show sometimes you need both, not just one or the other. I guess part of what this is teaching me is to be open to everything, sometimes I can get locked into one particular headspace and miss the big picture. There are just so many incredible lessons I'm learning, which are really enriching my life. This truly is a fantastic growth opportunity! So much for my mantra "I don't want to grow any more" God has other ideas! I have to admit, though, that I do want to grow more now that I'm getting a glimpse of where that growth is taking me! Perfect example of missing the big picture, when I was locked into the mindset I didn't want to grow because it was difficult. Just think of all the incredible experiences and new way of seeing and experiencing life I would have missed out on. That really could only be described as tragic! So do try to keep your minds and hearts open to all the endless possibilities that are out there! I'll be back later, have a fantastic day, I'm certainly going to!
