1. Last Saturday: I learned that it's possible to feel love from people even if you don't directly communicate with them. It's frustrating not to communicate directly, but it's still there. Last Saturday (one week ago) I found a new wallpaper photo for my computer. Hey. . . . I'm usually an open book. Allow me one area of my life where I don't tell everything.
2.Last Sunday: I learned about the classic movies at the Paramount Theater. Glad I decided to go and will return often.
3. Monday: I learned that I can make good cabinet choices!
3.Tuesday: I learned that a new guy really will come to take over the reins of The Washington Choral Arts Society. I learned that the candidates are good! I learned that of the two who rehearsed us on Tuesday, either would suit me. Although I'm leaning towards Don McCullough. If it's him, I may have to stay for another year. But I also know there are two more guys coming up in a couple of weeks. So I'll save my opinions.
4. Wednesday: Even though I was back to working out, I learned that it takes awhile for the body to bounce back after being sick for over a week. I also learned that sometimes you have to cut your best friend some slack when she's caught between a rock and a hard place.
5. Thursday: I learned that if I'm contemplating not being in choir and having a fuller life down here, I need to nurture these relationships. I learned that instead of dropping out of Writer's Group, I should stay in and be with these lovely women. Almost didn't go on Thursday. But went anyway. And I feel re-committed to this group. Received a Super Bowl Sunday dinner invitation which will probably be a Downton Abbey Sunday instead. Lovely invitation. . . would not have received it if I had blown off writer's group.
I also learned that I need a lot more stuff for the house. Thursday's acquisitions: ceiling fans, garbage disposal, door knobs, light fixture, toilet. I learned that I need to look hard at the deliveries. My builder caught the dents in the front of the refrig. I would have never seen them. Back went the refrig. I learned that if the Lowe's truck hits the eaves of the front porch and damages it, the builder will step in and fix it.
6. Friday: I again learned that I need to resist the temptation to not do what I need to be doing. ( I guess the opposite of that would be to resist doing the things that I should not be doing!) Almost didn't go to workout, but then did. It was assistant trainer Andy. Had a great workout. . . getting stronger.
I learned that there are some gorgeous photos coming out of Indianapolis as they celebrate the Super Bowl. And that Chad comes back home today.
7. Today: Sixth workout of the week. Sometime in the middle of this one, I got my mojo back! My energy kicked back in and I just wanted to keep going. I learned that the human body is an amazing machine that sometimes gets sick. But with care and patience (and in my case, 1 lousy Aleve tablet) it will heal itself. I recommit myself to healthy eating and practices. I love the way I feel today.
It's been a great week!
