what a beautiful day!

i woke up this morning and had no idea what a great day today was going to be! i have learned, again, it really doesn't take much to make me happy! two little things this morning.

one - cloud cover. i walked from my car to the gym and thought, "WOW! it feels much cooler out here this morning!" thursday was a sauna...the humidity + the sun = outdoor sauna. today, when i left the gym, i had to check the temperature reading in my car, 84 degrees. AMAZING! that did something to me. i feel the need to go get lauren (i can't she's in north carolina) and swing at the park for awhile. or go hiking. or do anything outdoors, because i could, and not faint from heat exhaustion! that is one.

two - an ipod shuffle.


i have been trying to find my love again for the gym these past two weeks, and it has been ok, but today, as i was starting a little cardio, jon was just finishing. he came over to me, and practically insisted that i try out his shuffle (thank you big guy!). :) it was like finding my old best friend. the minute the tunes filled my ears, i was home again. my experiences working out have always included music, and in my almost three year absence, i had lost my exercise playlist on my ipod. what was i thinking? how enlightening for me, the difference i felt, listening to some great music while working out! i have to get me one of those little babies and hook it up to his computer and get his same playlist on mine! i was in heaven! that is two.

so, if you're feeling a little down today, go outside and do something fun, just because you can!, and turn on some great music and let it soothe your soul. trust me, you will feel happy :).

Susan, I've got 2 weeks before I go to the beach, I guess I should start going to the gym again!!! I've been so lazy and busy, but I've got to start again. I go in spurts where I do really good, and then a month will go by and I haven't been once. When do you go? Maybe I will see you there sometime if I can get myself going!! Tell your girls I love watching them dance too! They are awesome.
