Day 208: Oh! I LOVE YOU!

So, you might have noticed, I didn't post about using my new watch on Monday. That's because I didn't quite have it figured out and I just needed my first run with it to be perfect so I could use it at its maximum potential.

That was a good sentence.

Anyway, so I was able to spend more time later Monday and a little yesterday familiarizing myself with my new pal.

And then there was today.

I ran with it.

It. Was. AWESOME!!!

I am in love with my new watch/heart rate monitor/coach/potential BFF! Love Love Love.

Love.

Wanna guess what today's Joyful Moment was?

The best run ever!

Wishing you all Joyful Moments that leave people guessing!

Melanie said...: Sadly...I still don't get it. Running = pain...pain to me is not joy..but for some...well, I'm just happy you had a great run!

You would have been one of those pioneers that would have run her way to the valley the whole time keeping calculations on her new wagon wheel odometer wrist watch....or something like that.

Love you!; August 25, 2010
Nikki said...: How fun, I actually don't use a watch, maybe I should. I need a portable fan more than a watch here (or maybe I should run faster so I can make it more windy).; August 26, 2010
Linda said...: I love Mel's comment.

This was our last day living with Meg & Weston - So my JOY is all the things they've done to help us out and make us feel like we have a home when we're homeless.; October 21, 2010

Quotes to Live By

"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other... We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

--Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

--Marcel Proust

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"

--George Eliot

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."

--Peace Pilgrim

"Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness."

--John Calvin

Nobody says you must laugh, but a sense of humor can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected and smile through the day."

--Ann Landers

About Me

The purpose of this blog has evolved over the years. It started as a blog to discuss ways to create greater joy in our lives. But then I decided to post a daily Joyful Moment for a year to help me get through the pregnancy and infancy of my third child. The year came and went and I wasn't ready to give it up yet. So, I just kept going. Now, I'm chronicling my experience with talk therapy, too.

I would love for you to join in on my challenge and share your joys here, as well!

The cast of characters includes me (Cheryl), my husband HH (Hot Honey) who is kind enough to wash the dishes while I post many nights, Sweet P my 8-year old daughter, Little M my 6-year old son, Baby B my soon-to-be 3-year old son, and Darling A our precious baby girl.
