Pilates Ring, this is the trainer that says "stay motivated".  It is hard, but if you fall away, you can start up again. Maybe pick something different to keep you interest.  I need to get back to walking,


Ezra chapter 9 - This is an old testament book and talks about the Israelites living in place where their children are marrying outside the Israeli people and their faith.  We are past that, but still think that our choices separate us from God.  Just remember, we are doing the separating, not God.  He never leaves us.


On this day - 1994
It was in the 80's and I took Nicole and her friend Jamie to the pier fishing.  Now, doesn't that sound good?  Go fishing today, or at least find some water to sit and meditate by.
1994 - Nelson Mandela claimed victory after South Africa's first democratic elections.


Parenting - I think the word parenting is more a verb then a noun.  It is something that people do to care for, lead, love and enjoy someone else.  Our parenting can outreach our immediate family to those in our community and those of any age or differences.  I heard recently of a woman, that, after seeing a young boy who was around her grandsons ages, had lost his legs in a bombing in Afghanistan.  She reached across continents to pay for his care, his new legs and his education.  Now that's parenting.


Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough, Theodore Roosevelt's childhood was very entitled.  His father married outside the accepted circle, a confederate bride during the civil war.  Did you know that?  Interesting information.
