Take your good fortune and lift your life to its highest calling. Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.

Good Afternoon All. I hope all of you are well. My old computer finally crashed and died. So that's too bad but at least I already have a new computer. This morning on the way to Boxing I almost hit a cat. I slowed down so the cat could cross the busy road but I know if there were other cars behind me I wouldn't have been able to slow down and probably would have killed the cat which wouldn't have been good on Friday the 13th. This morning I did Boxing. I still need to leave earlier for Boxing Class which I am not doing as of yet. I felt like I was crushing it in Boxing today so that's a good sign. What did I do in Boxing? I did Skipping to start. Coach let me off of doing push ups today. I crushed it in skipping. After the first round of skipping I was like I can't do this. I had to change my orthotic insole around as the toes of my right foot felt all jammed together. I don't know if that is because I have new socks or not. Next I did Footwork. Then I was shadow boxing. I find in shadow boxing if I am throwing the jab and cross together I have to slow down and throw the jab and then pull my shoulder back to throw a good cross. Then I was throwing punches. To finish I did Bag Work. 

I missed a chance to work today from 3pm to 11pm but I already have plans to go to the Esquimalt Lantern Festival tonight and honestly like I wrote yesterday I have never seen these clients before and working 3-11 all the time I feel would be too much on my body. 

So anyways after Boxing today I really haven't done much. This morning before Boxing I ate an Orange and an Apple. For Lunch I ate two eggs and I had some yogurt. I bought Coconut Yogurt recently which was really good. I also did some laundry. I drank water. I haven't had a the required amount of water as of yet. I also did 25 Sit Ups and 30 Crunches out of the 150 ABS I am supposed to do daily. I also did some knitting. Oh I also submitted a poem to a poetry anthology. So far none of my poems have made it into the anthologies but I will keep on giving it a try every time an opportunity comes up. 

Here is the poem I submitted to the Poetry Anthology. 

Inspiration Dream 

At night
When I am asleep
I dream so many things
That are inspiring

I dream of poverty ending
I dream of everyone finding work
I dream of becoming an accomplished writer
These are just a few of my inspiring dreams

I dream during storms
I dream during the day
I dream in gardens
I dream daily and nightly

Dreams are like stars
They appear and disappear
Each and every day
And everyone rich and poor
Famous and not famous
Have their own dreams
That they want to achieve

So go after your dreams
And let them inspire you

I also want to write about running as well. So I am going to try to run consistently for the next two weeks and hopefully after that increase the running time. 

I have decided that I need to watch documentaries that will help me in my life to become the person I want to come. I also just realized as of recently this blog isn't just about Textiles and you know what that is okay with me. If I want to write about other stuff as well then that is just great.

10pm: So the Lantern Festival was cancelled which was too bad due to the rain. 

Another thing I forgot to write about today. I tried calling my family and their phone is out of service. Probably they got a new number because they are sick and tired of me calling all the time. Oh well I need to find a boyfriend. I can't find a boyfriend if I talk to them all the time.
