What types of shows do you like? Do you have Netflix? I just finished the new show Mindhunter which I LOVED. It's about FBI profilers in the 1970s interviewing criminals and developing their profiling abilities. It's not not-creepy though. So if you don't like scary stuff, I would stay away from it.

1) Visit with my friends and families.
2) Start a simple spiritual fast on fruits, nuts, juices, and water.
3) Pray and be grateful for today is the only-one!

Greeneyes - I'm open to anything! I never watch tv - got to start somewhere! Your suggestion sounds great, I'm going to give it a try, thank you!
Oh, and a marathon? Wow. Good luck, what an amazing impressive thing to do!

GreenEyes- good luck on your marathon!!!! My one (and only, probably!) was San Diego - it was such an awesome experience. I do run now- my fiance and I made a plan that we've kept(!) to do a 5K a month for all of this year. I have been so excited to get faster and just broke 30 (29:12) last run!! I am planning to do the 15K instead of th 5K of the very cool Hot Chocolate run we did this year. I have also started hot yoga 6x a week and it has definitely helped my running.

Also, Mindhunters- we just got into it and it is interesting. Definitely one we watch when we can really focus, not just "kinda watch!" To those asking- other shows I/we have enjoyed are the new Hawaii 5-0 (the duo is funny together), The Blacklist, The Brave (new this year so not on Netflix or such), and Person of Interest.....

So back to the doing for ourselves question.

Tonight, I am home with my fiance for cooking dinner, movie, whatever, and catching up after I was out of town since this past Sun.

Tomorrow- double yoga! My usual 75 min hot class, then a Yelp event (there's a huge social side to the review site and I've been involved for a long time) that's an hour yoga class at a place I've never been. Very excited.

Sun, I lead my recovery group (I am an AAer and I also run a non-AA or NA recovery group for restaurant industry employees) and then my fiance and I are going to the opening brunch at one of the restaurants the company who founded the recovery group (I am a board member) just opened in Atlanta.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Heard this song yesterday and thought I'd throw it into the mix just for fun! Thought the video was pretty cool too.



Lyrics here:

I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on, anyhow
That's why I'm telling you

I just want to celebrate
Another day of living
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Had my hand on the dollar bill
And the dollar bill flew away
But the sun is shining down on me
And it's here to stay
That's why I'm telling you

I just want to celebrate
Another day of living
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Don't let it all get you down, no, no
Don't let it turn you around and around and around, no

Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no
I'm using up the time by feeling fine, every day
That's why I'm telling you

I just want to celebrate
Oh, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day
Oh, I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Don't let it all get you down, no, no
Don't let it turn you around and around, and around, and around
And around, and round, and round
Round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round
Don't go round

I just want to celebrate
I just want to celebrate
Well, I just want to celebrate
Said I just want to celebrate (celebrate)
I just want to celebrate (I want to celebrate)
I just want to celebrate (I got to celebrate)
I just want to celebrate

Have yummy and healthy meals.

Rest after the busy but satisfying week I have had.

Family are visiting for coffee and chats. I have rebuilt a really good relationship with them.

Went on an all day trail ride with my daughter and my horses. Long hot bath. Plan on spending today in my PJ's watching movies and listening to the rain. Glorious
