What a day it has been. I got up before Mom and rode the stationary bike for 50 minutes. Then we went to clean the church which meant I got to shovel the sidewalk (almost 50 yards long). When we got back to the house it was time to move some firewood. We did that for about 1/2 an hour. I decided that I needed a break. We went back out and moved fireword and cut some more with the chainsaw. (That was fun.) Then, it was off to a friends for what turned into a brisk walk. My friend was moving a horse to her other farm. (Her son came up and gave me a great hug. I had not seen him in a few months, he will be 7 next week. He could not wait to remind me.) Because wewere walking a horse, it meant walking at nearly a trot. It was a great day!

Now, home again. Looking forward to a week filled with more great moments.

If I look at the chaces to be active as opportunities to build a better me, it makes those moments even more enjoyable.
