"How's your fitness journey going?" I was asked this question the other day by a well meaning friend. It was a simple enough question but the answer I had to give made me feel the gripping fingers of defeat and shame. My answer: "It's been a rough summer here. It hasn't been going anywhere but backwards." And that's the short answer. So. Many. Things. Have derailed me. Owning my choices is hard. I've backslid, painfully. My energy levels show it. The number on the scale shows it, and my tighter pants make me feel it right up to the squeezing of regrets on my heart. A few days ago I listened to a podcast that basically said what I needed to hear to motivate me to make the choice and the changes to pick myself up, dust myself off and get back on the journey. Pulling myself up by my bootstraps, tipping my eyes heavenward and taking the first step. Again. To paraphrase the podcaster (who was actually talking about homeschool...

It has been a rough summer spiritually for us here in the Wright Fam. Especially in the Church Attendance Department. We usually average 3 out of 4 Sunday's a month. Not that averages, or attendance records mean anything in the big picture scheme of things. It does however mean something for us in our joy levels from fellowship, and in the "magnitude of our attitude" departments though. Several things have contributed to our lower than usual average. Summer is always a busy season for work for my hubby so often we just give ourselves lots of grace and have a Sabbath at home. However the main thing currently is that Kal-El Wright had a slip-step back during the snow apocalypse of 2019 and tore (by tore I mean completely detached) the main tendon in his left wrist. For which he had surgery to repair it back in June. Now, he's a lefty. So this has far more greatly impacted our lives than either of us thought it would. Fast forward a few weeks of recovery, add in som...

I've been pondering fancifully about writing a blog for a while. I have actually been told on several occasions that I should start a blog, and the most recent time was just last month by a friend who I'd poured my heart out to in an email. So, here I am. This is actually a second go around for me on the blog front.  My first attempt was too false. I just didn't have enough confidence in my own voice, and I burned out trying to write how I thought I needed to write. This time around I've been held up for a while in indecision about who my audience is, what I want my voice to be, and should I have a single topical type blog or a blog that is just a hodge podge page of all my own inner dialogues? Most likely the latter is what this will turn to be. Only God knows the direction this will or will not take, and I am confident he will sort out all of those details for me as he always does on my little rabbit trails in life I take.
