Day 59. Week 9. Day 2. Today I was supposed to run a marathon. And then well… Covid happened…. And everything got cancelled. So… 1. Rather than run a marathon, I decided to run on the treadmill. Why I ran on the treadmill inside when it is 70 degrees outside, I have no idea. Feel free to question my sanity now. #runmichigan 2. Braked for chickens today. #stayhomestaysafe 3. Also, did something I’ve never done before today. Rode in a UTV. Even got to drive it. I think ra

Day 56. Week 8. Day 6. SUNSHINE!!!! Glorious sunshine. Do I really need to say anything more? 1. Gold sparkle shoes for the win today. The sun makes them extra sparkly and thus extra happy. #gold #sparkles 2. And got to run outside at the park. You guys, how glorious was this weather today. #runmichigan 3. How cute is this crew? Got to have some fun with the teens and their zoom meeting today. They played Family Feud. None of them knew what the word mink was. Also they

Day 53. Week 8. Day 4. On Day 53 a bird flew into my screen door. My day is going much better than that birds... I think. 1. Even when I don’t see it… You’re working. Even when I don’t feel it… You’re working. You never stop working. Man, did my heart need to hear these words this morning. There’s a lot of times, this last week included, where I don't seem to see God working and where I definitely don’t feel God working. I’m going to work at holding tight to this truth

Day 30. Week 5. Day 2. I put the iphone face recognition software to the test today. If you have twins and you program one of their faces into the Face ID on the phone…. Can the iphone differentiate between the two? I know you were all dying to know this fun fact. Guess what? It cannot. How that is going to ever help you in life unless you are a twin, I do not know. But nonetheless, you’re welcome. 1. I was finally able to run outside again today. I did a long run las

Day 19. Week 3. Day 5. I drove home from Holland this morning. Not gonna lie. I kind of feel like I’m living a life of crime being out on the roads. On the drive home I came across a billboard for an eyeglass company that simply stated, “What’s your vision for 2020?” I appreciate their play on words there. And I’m going to assume that this billboard went up before 2020 became this. #thatisunfortunate #notthis And speaking of 2020, have you seen the meme that points out… Si

Day 13 Week 2. Day 6 Today I did something I’ve never had to do before. Teaching someone how to address an envelope. Eric . I taught Eric how to address and envelope. Whose Eric you ask? Oh, he’s my co-worker. My 25 year old co-worker. My 25 year old co-worker who apparently has never been taught how to address an envelope. I really don’t think I’m that old. And we still all get mail. So the question of the day is….. Is this something that kids are taught in school

Life has changed so much in the last week. As a person who thrives on people, schedules, being busy, and early mornings at the gym, these changes have come with plenty of whining and complaining.... And at the core is selfishness. I’m being inconvenienced, things aren’t going the way I want, I don’t have control. And the reality is my problems are nothing in the scheme of everything going on. And in this moment Hebrews 13:8 comes to mind... “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
