Energy

Yesterday I walked to church in the morning (just over 2 miles), and walked home to get my car at lunch time. I prayed and listened to sermon podcasts as I walked. When I got home last night I mowed the lawn. I'm quite proud of all the exercise I got yesterday.
.
We're beginning today at the church because I needed to open up for a training that the agency that provides Daughter's program is doing here. We allow non-profits the use of our building for events when it is available. Because of the training, Daughter will be with me all day. She's folding church brochures in the office. I view these events as an opportunity to promote the church, so we make sure that we have information available for anyone who might be interested. Yesterday we made a new insert promoting our fall program to put in the brochure.
.
When Administrative Assistant arrives, we will head to the home improvement store to get more paint for the fence. I want to finish painting the privacy fence today, and then I'm going to plant some flowers and ground cover one of the saints brought me yesterday evening. I'm looking forward to spending most of the day in the yard. I'm hoping I can get the sermon done while I'm here at the church this morning, though with all the assistance the Program group is needing, that may not happen.
.
I won't be able to walk to the church every day, but my goal is to walk to the church 1-2 times a week and walk at least 2 miles 5-6 days a week. I'm reminded again of how much better I feel and how much more energy I have when I exercise.
.
Daughter continues to be challenging, but it doesn't get to me as much when I'm getting exercise. She's dumped another boyfriend for a new one who is the "best one ever." We'll see how long this one lasts. Hopefully the men in her program will figure out that she's not a good prospect and avoid her soon. I'm refusing to get pulled into the drama, so I'm hearing less about it.
