The Epic Quest

An epic quest has begun yet again...

I look out across the vast field of battle. The enemy far outnumbers myself. I ready my weapon and give out a mighty cry as I charge into the enemy lines.

One by one I begin setting my enemy aflame. I don't stop long enough to watch them burn as more and more surround me. Exhaustion threatens to take me...I can not and will not be beaten so easily.

After an intense hour of battle...597 of the enemy now lie dead upon the battlefield, and I stand victorious!

The rest of the enemy has fallen back to regroup...we shall meet again, and once more I shall defeat them. For now, however, I shall go to cleanse myself of this battle, and prepare for the next time that I shall face them.

(Aka - I just completed my Zumba cardio/core class and burned 597 calories wahoo!....Come on, admit it...exercising would be so much more rewarding if the calories screamed when you burn them)

Day 2

Upon a vast field of snow we meet again foul beasts.

I shall slay you again this day as I have before.

I can smell your fear, for now you have realized I am not a force to be reckoned with. 

Yet, still you advance. Fools.

Can you now see the smirk on my face or the fire in my eyes? It is because today you shall see the end of your existence. 

Do not fear for your comrades, for they shall be joining you in the near future.

Today...today brings your death. 

Metal clashes on metal as they attempt to swarm me. If they cannot overpower me, then they will try to wear me down till I am too exhausted to fight. This I well know.

The sky is now blocked from my eyes as more and more of them attack. I am being overwhelmed, I have to act now or all would be lost.

In the midst of the darkness fire shoots forth. (I am lucky they catch fire so easily) Light pierces my darkness, and their screams fill my ears as they all try to escape the flames. 

There are still thousands of them, but today was a good victory. 600 of my enemy now lie smoldering in the snow.

Sweat trickles into my eyes, yet I feel a sense of accomplishment. I turn and limp from the battlefield. Until next we meet....

(Another full Zumba cardio/core class complete 600 calories burned! Feeling GREAT!)

A New Adventure!

After months of contemplation, I have finally decided to take the plunge and begin my very own blog! Creating a new blog has proven of itself to be an incredible adventure! At first I wasn't sure if I should let anyone know my contemplations, but I figured there is nothing wrong with reaching out into your social circles to find a little help, and boy did it deliver! I had no idea blogs were such a huge part of people's lives.  I suppose that is a part of my ignorance on the entire thing. Hmm... Where was I? Oh right! The adventure of creating this blog. Well, after I had reached out to people for input on where to begin, I received tons of input on which sites were best, who preferred what, etc.  My mind was spinning like a carousel (I prefer carousel over merry go round...sounds a bit more...fancy? grown up?) I had no idea there were so many options to explore. One friend, who is an avid blogger, went through the basics with me, and told me that over everything else the

I Am Thankful.

Wow, how does one put everything they are grateful for into words... I guess to sum up as best I know how I would have to say I am beyond thankful for this wild and wacky adventure called life. I'm thankful for those who share in the journey alongside me, for those who have played their part in my story and moved on their own way, for those who have yet to enter my story and change the world as I know it. My family and dearest friends always beside me. I'm thankful for the good times that are forever mine to cherish, and the tough times that always have a lesson to teach and grow me. I'm thankful for eyes to see the beauty of the world around me, ears to hear the sweetest sounds, feet to take me to places I've never been before or to lead me back home again, hands to hold up those around me who are too tired to carry on alone, a tongue to taste the richness the world has to offer, and a heart to feel every emotion to its fullest. I'm thankful for the sunshine t

A Covid-19 World

Image
Closed indefinitely. Social distancing. No toilet paper. Sold out. No mask no service. Sanitize everything. Stay home. Wash your hands for twenty seconds. Stay six feet apart.  We are living in a world we never dreamed we would see. We see grief. Grief over loss of normalcy. Grief over the loss of loved ones. Grief over the loss of jobs. Grief over lost opportunities. Grief over being isolated from loved ones. Grief for plans being ruined. Grief is raw. Grief is hard to bare. It gives us a glimpse into the depths of the soul, and shouldn't be rejected, but rather rejoiced in as odd as that may sound. We shouldn't rejoice in the cause of the grief, but grief itself is a powerful thing. It allows us to perceive truth and beauty in ways we may have never seen it before.  We see everyone moving about day by day wondering when and if this will ever end.   We see the best in people come out. We see museums, theatres, and attractions all streaming their content for free
