This started out to be such a GOOD day! I spent an hour at the YMCA having a fantastic workout and feeling really energized afterward. Besides the physical boost I received, I discovered that the "Y" is a great place to pray. No one knows me and no one pays any attention to anyone else so as not to disturb their workouts, so a person can really go into a private "zone" there.
I could just close my eyes and bicycle away, or use the weight stations and feel all to myself. It was so nice to be alone with God in a room which contained probably 40 people all whacking away on metallic machines. The only thing I could not do with my eyes closed was fast walking on the track -- it would have been unfortunate to mow down the little old guy with the cane. He was doing such a good job that I would have hated to ruin his workout. As it was, I just prayed as I paced and lapped him a couple of times, thinking as I did that I hope I can do what he is doing when I reach his age.
Mid-day was okay, too, but then I got to late afternoon and the day went to pot. I got a speeding ticket for moving at the rapid pace of 42 mph in a 30 zone. That's going to cost me $105 which I had not intended to use as a traffic donation. Then I was rejected at my destination at Fort Carson and had to turn around because I didn't have t
he proper insurance information to be allowed on base. And in returning I got lost and toured southern Co.Spgs. for an extra half hour. That would have been okay except that I got hungry and knew I was still a ways from home, so I caved in and bought fast food. Yuk!So, the pumpkin picture is rather symbolic of this day.
