How cool is this! I saw this sign on a wall where there was gym equipment being sold. I knew when I saw it, it was a message to me, you all know I have gone back to Movati (health club/gym) … I’m “trying” to work it into my schedule so that it fits in with my “routine”. There are only so many hours in the day. My focus is and has always been.. being happy.. (I can be so self centered)
The other day I found myself watching other members using the various equipment that I see around. The cardio area has been set up differently from when I left in 2017 at that time, they were bringing in new equipment.. now I’m seeing it, and how it is used. I have been offered a free refresher hour, a tour of the new equipment and how it is used etc. Problem with that is I have to stay an hour with a trainer who will also try to be selling me private coaching lessons.
Not up to that at the moment… I just want to wander and use my time there to stretch, walk, do the stairs, and some weights.. etc. the stretching is important and the stairs. It has only been a short time since I’ve signed up again, and already, I can feel the difference in my legs. Doing the steps .. going up to the second level using the winding staircase… is a must.. even if at first I did it at a crawl. I see even the younger members holding on and “huffing”…. I am sure the stairs were not only designed for appearance, they are functional in more ways than one.
When you reach the 2nd level there is a spacious area with very comfortable looking chairs…(I’m happy to say, I do not sit or use the chairs… I keep moving. If I want to sit I do so on a bike.. and pedal.
Put your heart into what4ever you do, and you will find the joy in it.
If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it (PL2012.19)
Make it a happy day everyone.. Enjoy!

Even the animals are feeling the heat. It has been brutal, the storm last night did little to clear the air, the heat warnings are still in effect.
“As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.
If you ae ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly, going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions, you will not be able to lead a full life.
Your life is your very own unique work of art.” (PL Life is Art. members guide)

Good morning. When an animal is content…. even if he is in the way. Do we move him? or let him stay?
Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. (PL2022.6)

Call a cab… …. remember when…
I am so thankful to have lived the life I lived. Most of all I’m grateful for the experiences I have faced, the opportunities and the challenges. All of it. It made me who I am today. My world is filled with love and sunshine, and I appreciate that my now is filled with contentment and quiet joy.
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.(PL2014.5)

Thursday
Everywhere there is a door, are you tempted to go in? With the reflective mood of the last while, I wandered down the memory lanes this morning, and picked buildings with a similar appeal. Each building has a different purpose, or has been standing for sometime. Each tells a story. None are mine. Will I find what I am looking for? Who knows. But then.. am I even looking… or am I simply remembering when time was….

I want this moment back. But I can’t have it. Live each moment to the fullest, we can never get them back. Not a day goes by that I don’t ache with a memory of time shared with this bundle of loving energy. We think we have lots of time to do things, or call and touch base with someone.. The truth is, we only have NOW. don’t squander it with trying to change what is… Accept that today is another day, and live it the best you can.
With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do. With a humble mind, take a second look. Even when you have put your best effort into something, there may be something you overlooked. (PL2014.7)

Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcomings in others. Even though you may not agree with someone, complaining about it doesn’t help. Remember, we are all human….. and accept each person for who they are. (PL2019.22)

Live each day filled with hope. Even those situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way. (PL2019.2)
