Adventures in Decorating #2

When we first got our the rooms in our house painted, we had wanted to have the sunroom done with a venetian plaster look, but the painter didn't do that type of work. Recently, we had it done and really like it.

Words for Walking!

The article bellow was first posted on April 24, 2008 on "Hmm, I don't know what to tell ya!"

"Going to the gym is becoming routine. I leave the house by 8:30 am, stop and buy a newspaper for later, and check in at the Lake House. My regimen is this. I walk a little over a mile on the treadmill and then move on to the weight machines. The final third of my workout is walking the indoor track

While walking on the track, I was having trouble keeping count of my laps. I would finish a lap and think "was that 4 or 5?" Therefore, I decided that I needed a better way of measuring how far I had gone. Since 24 laps made a mile, I decided walk 26 and give each one a name using an alphabetical list of special words. The special words I chose are attributes or attitudes that need improvement in my life. At the start of each lap, I say the word to myself and then ponder it as I walk. As prompts for better motivation, I have decided to begin a series of postings highlighting each word. I am not sure how often I will write, but my goal is to be finished by my sixty-fifth birthday on June 1."
