Just another day in the neighborhood!  But, what a beautiful day it is outside my window.  I woke early this morning (5:30 am - good grief!) and went outside to a hill country morning.  The sun was just rising around 6:30 am and the sky was orange and pink, with only patches of light blue showing through billowing white clouds rolling across the sky.  The breeze was definitely a warm Texas breeze but a breeze nonetheless and the smell of the hills aromated my walk.  It leaves me feeling connected and alone at the same time.  And, again, my emotions are filled with longing for my folks and home.

Enough of that!  I went back inside and did my 10-minute Pilates workout — only in private for now!  I can only complete half of each exercise - awful!  My legs are strong and my arms are strong - but my core (abs) is not strong at all!  Which is the reason I’m utilizing pilates — to strengthen my core.  HaHaHa - this girl on the video can pull herself into a backwards flip — that’s what I am SUPPOSED to be able to do!  That will be a miracle!!!  I am working on it — just not in public!!!

Well, I’m off to do some reading, waiting for Royce and the kids to come by.  We’re having donuts (shhhhh…don’t tell my pilates instructor) this morning when they drop by my Angel Food order for this month.  It’ll be fun to have them over for a bit, then, I’m off to work for the day. 

Work is going well.  It just doesn’t pay enough and I’m still looking for either a higher paying job or a second job to supplement.  I made a $500 sale yesterday…the biggest one I’ve ever made.  Just wish it was for myself and my family rather than for corporate America — oh well — maybe something good will come from it for us - one can always keep hoping.
