End of the month



This morning I woke up at a reasonable time (4am... Which beats 2 am) and I was in such a restful, deep breathing state I didn't want to get up. Didn't have to get up... got up. I finally feel like I got some restorative sleep, it was sooo nice. Need to get up to do my miles at 6 am and that requires caffeine.
It's the end of the month and I'll be tallying up all my mileage for the month and turning that in to my sister. We ladies of the family all do our own personal mileage and add it up together to reach a common goal for the year... That being 2020 miles in 2020. My mom always gets the most miles... It's astonishing and makes me feel puny 😂

I wonder when I'll be lucky enough to see another toad on my morning walk? Spotted him yesterday in the dark.
Looking back on this month, it was a very productive one. Got a lot of projects accomplished at work, at home and within myself. Steady working to make life better and get stress off my plate. Taking care of business and creating peace... That's been the theme of July. Now as we cruise into August I'm aiming for more of that. It's also time to paint as I have one month to get some stuff ready for virtual art show. 
I think it's important to stop and take inventory of our little accomplishments and daily tasks that we knocked out of the park. Even something as small as cleaning the fridge, dropping a pound, finishing a book... It's the little things that add up over time. 
May August be just as productive 💪

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
