A "Hot" Compliment!

You know some days are just magical! Although I was tired after running around the park six miles in the heat and high humidity (let's see? Any other excuses?) the day turned out all worth while because I received a compliment. Actually, I like the way my top and running shorts fit the first time I put them on. "Nice" I thought! Actually, I probably said. "Damn! You're hot!"

But after the six of us ran, got smoothies, went to breakfast and proceeded to walk up the
street through the food and art show suddenly I heard. "I like your shorts. Where's you get those?" REI. "They look really hot". "Oh they're not, they're really cool!" (I was milking it and I knew it!). "No, (little louder now) 'you' look hot!" Bingo!

Suddenly I was lifted to a higher physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological level. It doesn't get any better than that! I am truly blessed. This is coming from a 35 year old. I'm 60. She wasn't flirting.

You see I've changed my look in the past few years. When I was deep into a relationship I got the fatter, crew cut, butch look. Not good! I wasn't happy with myself at all! Not at all! I was wearing men's jeans.

Then we split and I went back to my pre-lesbian look with longer hair and much lighter about 125. My hair is wavy. After my change while visited my neighbor her daughter was home from college and had not seen me for several months. She was totally surprised. She genuinely looked surprised and said. "Wow! Your hot!"

Life does have it's magical moments of great incentives. Now, I'll work out and watch my weight even more. I told someone one day that I do not consider it "working out" that I call it "body sculpturing". So, more I"ll try even harder to look my bless the natural way.

I'm an artist - what better canvas then your own body. I appreciate my gifts of youthfulness, my capability to swim, do yoga, bicycle, run, and my sense of appreciation of all of my many gifts. I appreciate my car too.

I know that sounds silly appreciating my car. But I do! Especially in today's economy and with my driving impatience. I whole hearted thank the universe for protecting my car (and me) and keeping us from accident, dents, break-downs, expensive maintenance. I do take my car
to the deal for ten years now for oil changes and regular maintenance. I truly believe in taking a car to a trusted dealer for oil and filter changes. They are professional mechanics who know my car! And besides the cost is competitive with the quick and supposedly cheaper oil change drivethroughs. I pray my car lasts and breaks records in longevity and and extended mileage life. Life is great!

What a blessed day! Thanks! Maybe we do get back what we put out there? You think? Can life get any more grand? I have the love of my friends and a lover who gives me spaces - lots of space.

I have the heart that needs space. I was just thinking of the good doctor! I'll love her forever! I think of her in good times and think of her in bad, sad times. I miss her. I think I'll watch her in the recorded shows that I have of her.

The universe is with me - I know that now. I have always listened to words of my ex. I can't imagine my life without her in it. I cry at the thought. But, we have a pack, if I go I will connect with her at some level and if she goes she will do the same. We both believe in the "other side". I believe and have proof that people on the other side use us as we ask them, for us to use them, for favors. To watch out for others.

As my learn more and stay in the present I become more attuned to the spiritual world and all it magic and how we here are truly part of that. We are all connected by soul energy rather we are living as human beings or past as spirits on the other side.

So, thanks to those spirits for helping me. Of course I will do you favors. I got the best team in the universe pulling for me and making my life magical. I can't wait to see what they have in store for me soon.

Thanks

a day of rest!

Yes, I am eating light and resting today. I need to get my buck in gear on work on my art. Which I will do next. But, right now I am clearing my mind of recorded clutter from watching DVRs

Friday I swam for 40 minutes, worked on with weight machines for 30 minutes, spun for 30 min and Saturday rode 43 miles. And Sunday rode to the run and ran a 5k then rode a total of 53 miles. Yeah! Resting today!

I am grateful for my youthfulness, power, might, determination, well, talents, beauty, intelligence, common sense (how rare if that?).

I am grateful for my many friends. But, most of all very grateful for friends and capabilities. Now, that said and done. I need to get to work with my art.

Please take care of myself and all of my friends. I thank you for my blessings and their's less they forget.
