Muse and ramblings

So this will probably be a mish mash of "potatoes" so please

bear with me.  So last November I bought this monster of a Treadmill

from Craigslist from a private party. It has been one of the best things

that has happened in my life. For One, it was a fantastic deal.

I love the fact that I can get right out of bed and throw my clothes and running shoes

on, drink about 32 oz's of flavored water and get on it.  I  do 3 miles, 5-6 days a week. I've incorporated

running part of the way, my best has been running 2 of the 3 miles.

I know, no big deal for you Runners.  I use to watch "Me TV" they have the old shows like Petticoat Junction or My Three Sons, while working out but

the past couple of weeks I have been listening to Mindy Gledhill on my IPhone. I plug

it into our amp and listen through the speakers and crank it up. It

just puts me into a good place that I can focus.  

The other morning, I was pretty stressed and as I looked across the room, I gazed at the 

picture hanging above our small TV and as I concentrated on it

it gave me the determination to push through.

See below:

I kept reading it over and over again and that was the morning I

was able to run the 2 of the 3 miles. 

Okay, get ready for a commercial for "The Mormon Channel app".

I can't stress how much  I love The Mormon Channel app. I will listen

to the Scriptures first and then either listen to Live Mormon Channel or

peruse and listen to a Conference talk, the Latest Monthly Ensign or it's Music etc.

Too much to tell, You will have to upload it and find out for yourself.

The App is free, of course.

I listen to it while I am getting ready for work, through breakfast etc.

It is really the best way to start off my morning

and puts me in a good frame of mind.

I've learned ton's from listening to

"conversations and uplifting interviews. Today's

interviews were with former Mission President Eric Jackson and his

wife who were over the Uganda Mission in 2010 and

then an interview with Former General Relief Society President

Julie Beck. I learn so much!

I highly recommend if you want to start your day right take a

listen. This is what the app looks like.

I've stopped watching the News ( too much of a drag) and listening to regular Radio because,

let's face it, we can be more selective of what tunes or information we want

to digest. If I really want to know about the news I can check it

out on the Internet without the commercials.  I'm not living Under a Rock,

I think I'm still informed.

As I reach the half century mark, (and to me it's a great feeling) I have felt

such an importance at this time in my life to want to be closer to my

Heavenly Father, I want so much to please him, because I truly feel he

is our Father and as a child of him I am striving to be more obedient.

I feel at peace when I'm doing what's right.

I don't think that it compromises having Joy in my life.

Because he wants that for us too.

Hey, we all have challenges. I'm just trying to have a better perspective.

Note: I am not  Preaching, I'm just using this

here Platform of mine to share where I'm at, at this moment.

Life is Wonderful - that's how I see it!

It's a Gorgeous Sunny Day- I'm alive- what could be better?

thanks for checking in.
