Fall weather

Thank You

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say thank you for all of the comments, text messages, and tweets about my sickness and the missed marathon in my last post. You all made me feel a lot better with your kind words and care.

I’d also like to thank whoever invented crackers and DayQuil.It has taken me a few days to regain my strength, appetite, and zest for life in general. I’m honestly still not feeling 100%, but I’m doing much, much better!

I have even managed to dress in real people clothes instead of sweats and large t-shirts. Score.I spent the weekend just hanging out, taking it fairly easy, and enjoying the fall weather.ย Lola was walked.

A run was.. run. (It was pretty awful because I did it too soon after being sick. Oops. You live and learn.)

Candles were lit.

Work boots were purchased.ย 

Smiles were shared.ย 

It was just the kind of weekend I needed.

It wasn’t the weekend I had planned, but it was better than I could have planned because it was a part of God’s plan. I took it as a sign from Him to slow down and enjoy life and not get caught up in always doing instead of enjoying.

Of course I’m still bummed about the missed race, but it’s no biggie. I’m not sure if I’ll try to find another or if I’m just going to run for the sheer enjoyment of it for now. Any thoughts/input?! I’d love to hear from you ๐Ÿ™‚

I hope everyone has a great week. I have an interesting/challenging weekend coming up!

Bible verse of the day: May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Yoga and eats

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Godโ€™s will isโ€”his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

On Tuesday I sent a text to my best friend asking if she wanted to go to hot yoga with me but she was working… sad times. So I went all by myself- yay i’m a big kid!

It felt good to stretch everything out and relax for once in my life. I have a hard time doing/buying things for myself. I’m always thinking that I shouldn’t be spending my money and I should be doing other more productive things. Then I realize if i’m always saving money and always doing “more productive” things that I get stressed and run down-no good.

I don’t know about other areas in the U.S., but Pittsburgh is experiencing fall full on lately. I tried to take a picture of the foliage but my camera focused on the rain on my windshield.

Much better! That is the view on my way to campus in the morning. God is good.

What else is good?

Chicken pot pie with a biscuit crust!

Sweet potato fries

Chocolate dipped coconut Luna bar ๐Ÿ˜€

Campus is looking gorgeous.

Funny story.. i’m nerdy. When I take notes I love to have a pencil, a .5mm colored pen, a .7mm black pen, and various highlighters. Ummm… yeah. ๐Ÿ˜‰
