Seeing through the trees

Crunching along on the snowmobile packed trails in my Snokas the world was beautiful.  The air was beautiful.  The crunch was beautiful.  The simple beauty was needed.  As I circled back, I looked out through the trees to the rising sun and crisp clean sky, it was good.

Hope you are able to crunch along to whatever you need today!

Keep dreaming!

Picture Pretty

I woke up at  my usual time, so I had extra time as I was working from home. I read Squirrel's blog..(hi Squirrel!) At 4:13 am, I ran out the door for a quick up and around and Pace.

The first thing I saw as I stepped out the door was the moon, it was beautiful!  Since we saw a fox the other day sniffing around the perimeter of our yard, I decided to just run as fast as I could so I didn't obsess about the fox getting me.  I was smart and put on my glasses thinking in my head they were super sonic vision glasses that would help me to spot anything that may be out there.

The run was outstanding, the world picture perfect.  So good!

Hope your day allows you to glimpse at the moon.

Keep dreaming!

p.s.  Special Shout out to Scout...thinking of you each day!!

simply be well

I bought some body wash over the weekend that touted herbal well being and to relax and unwind at the end of the day.  I really didn't read all that, but was enticed by the clean lettering on the bottle and the price was good.  I took off the little tag before I put it in the bathroom and kept the tag to read later.  I like to look up companies and check out their philosophy.  The little tag caught my eye as a diddled in between getting ready to go out.  It read, ''simply be well.''

Since I've had a cold since the day after Christmas, this thought, ''simply be well'' was my mantra and all consuming thoughts as I ran on Sunday.  Still not up to par, it doesn't seem possible but this quite possibly may have been my only run since Christmas.  I can't remember.  While most romped through the beautiful surroundings we've experienced since Christmas, days have passed me by.  Getting out shuffling along in my Snokas and then to meet up with George for a romp through the trails was certainly more than appreciated by me.  Today, I resumed my early morning out and did a bit, just a little bit of snowshoeing. 

It feels great to hopefully be shaking this thing.  A big part of that super plan to simply be well both physically and mentally includes running.  So great to have at it!

Hope your days are including a plan to simply be well!

Keep dreaming!

Present

NORAD Tracks Santa reported that Santa was back at the North Pole, so it seemed safe to go out for a run.  We didn't wear our headlamps as it was starting to get light.  George had 9 planned, so he saw me over the bridge and asked me if I wanted to follow him into the trails.  I wanted to, but thought for a quick second I didn't really know what I had in me today, so we parted ways.

As I ran, I remembered as a kid leaving Miller Lite and Saltines with the plastic wrapped type cheese out for Santa. I don't know why this popped in my head, but it made me laugh inside.  I bet my father enjoyed that little snack.  My mind just continued on of so many wonderful Christmas memories and joy.  Although I know my parents scrimped and saved for presents for us, I can't remember a one, but only remember the happiness of the day.  As I continued to relive so many Christmas memories, I didn't even realize it had begun to snow.  I looked down and the white snowflakes on my fleece just made me smile.

Running was great today and effortless.  I probably got in five to six and I consider it a great Christmas present to myself.  I found peace, joy and happiness throughout. 

Wishing y'all the merriest of merry and joy throughout the day ahead.  If you're able to get out and run today, I hope you also consider it a great present to yourself.

Keep dreaming!

Not a creature was stirring...

We got out early this morning.  With Jedi leading the way, we hit a bit of trail to go over the super neat bridge as the lake/rocks were iced over.  The only thing of note other than awesome was interestingly enough there was only one star in the sky...ummmm.  I headed home so I could shower and sign on to work and George continued on.  As I arrived home, could it be, that one star was twinkling.  Perfect!

Wishing you a day of twinkling stars, it's just too good!

Keep dreaming!

What do you have in your hands now?

After diddling around far to long this morning, I got out for a run.  Pep is still among the missing, but it was really nice out.  Surprisingly, the lake was high, so I circled back and used the awesome new bridge the snowmobilers built.

While running up the hill, a car passed me and stopped on their way heading down.  They said to me, ''we thought you might wonder why we were driving up your street.''  I told them I wasn't. I went on to explain, '' I live on the other side and I figured you were looking at the house for sale up there.''  Don't ask me why I felt the need to explain, but I did. In my head,  I had already figured it out and didn't really need to know anything else.  They explained to me they thought people maybe looking for answers from God because of the recent events and handed me a pamphlet.  I took it and was interested to see if it did have the answers.  I anxiously read it while I continued on, disappointed to find no answers but an advertisement to buy a book from their religious organization.

I continued to ponder and read as I ran still hoping I would find something.  I heard George call out to me, ''what do you have in your hands now?''  He got home from work as I was out and must changed quickly and got out.  I told him what I had and told him to beware, they were going to get him too.  We decided his response would be he didn't need the paper or any answers because he was a Jedi.  He didn't end up seeing them.

Onward and upward.

Keep dreaming.
