Saturday. Who would have thought I would have the energy to work on mind and body on the weekend.
BODY: I did not disturb my treadmill again today. A few more mm's of dust have accumulated on the tread. But I know I'll be forgiven when I explain why the treadmill wasn't my first choice of exercise today. I walked from my house to the Crowfoot library this morning. If one were to google that, it really isn't that far - BY CAR! Just to break down the journey; it took me 28 minutues from my house to Superstore; 44 mintues to Nosehill Drive and Country Hills; and exactly 1 hour and 1 minute (and a few seconds) to the front doors of the library. I surprised myself as I knew the library didn't open until 10:00 but figured it would take me longer than an hour so I left around 8:45 am. Ta Da...... I will be curious to see what body parts are sore or tired tomorrow morning. Needless to say I was over the 10,000 step mark by noon.
MIND: "It has been proven now scientifically that an affirmitive thought is 100 of times more powerful than a negative thought." -a quote from the secret!!!! I can attest that this was proven this evening. My BF Janice and I volunteered at the Reggae Fest today. We had a wonderful time. We worked in the "green room" tent where all the bands hung out! Amazing artists. Although our shift was only from 2 to 6:30, we joined the 100 of spectators afterwards and did our best to keep time to some fantastic music!! After encountering a wide variety of personalities, we left the festivities around 11:00 and took our tired feet (me) and our frozen bodies (Janice) home. But our fun didn't stop there. We encountered a character on the C-train who admired our lime green volunteer shirts. So in keeping with the "love fest" I gave him the shirt off my back. Actually, I was carrying it, and it was wet from the rain. In hind sight we should have played "Let's Make A Deal"
I arrived home with a smile on face, a smile in my heart and humming non reggae music--- "Summer Lovin' had me a blast......" and "Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream....." Not sure where those came from Janice!!!!!!!
I have many things to be thankful for tonight, and Janice you are at the top of my list!!!!
