Did a little with Kathy Smith. Mostly the warm up. Went outside and removed snow for two hours. The snowblower we bought for Christmas is a monster, and came in handy today! Still a workout.
1 Chronicles chapter 16 - Give thanks to the Lord. This is remembering to thank God for giving you something, not for the gift specific. For example - "Thanks to God for his goodness to me" rather than "thanks for the snowblower". "Your thanksgiving emphasizes the Giver rather than the gifts."
On this day;
2005 - Mom would take Nicole to her Karate class and I would meet them there after work. We loved sitting and watching the 10 - 20 kids going through the different moves they had to learn. Nicole was intense about it. She was a small, thin child but put a lot of punch in her moves. Video available.
1653 - New Amsterdam, now known as New York City, was incorporated. I didn't know that was its first name. huh!
Parenting - There were a lot of reasons I thought Karate was a good choice for Nicole. It is exercise, it teaches endurance and concentration, discipline and it was not gender specific. She preferred hanging with boys and that worked for her. I would recommend it.
Iwate Japan - Inuyama was just a stop over! Let's see what Iwate has to offer:
Iwate Prefecture (岩手県 Iwate-ken?) is the second largest prefecture of Japan after Hokkaido.[2] It is located in the Tōhoku region of Honshū island and contains the island's easternmost point.[3] The capital is Morioka.[4] Iwate has the lowest population density of any prefecture outside Hokkaido. Famous attractions include the Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi, including Chūson-ji and Mōtsū-ji with their treasures, Fujiwara no Sato, a movie lot and theme park in Esashi Ward, Oshu City, Tenshochi, a park in Kitakami City known for its big, old cherry trees and Morioka Castle in Morioka City. Sarah spent some time here teaching English, enjoy!
Enjoy the day! Make it Memorable! Happy Birthday Bill!
