Dedication

There is something to be said about "Dedication" I haven't seen the movie even though I have it in my collection but I was thinking about the word "Dedication" and Google searched images and it was the first one I saw.

Today's theme of my day is "Dedication". I just got back from another grueling day at the gym, I feel tired, worn out and starved! It took everything in me to go today just like every day. It's not just the workout I have to gear up for it's the time it takes to walk to my locker and get my gym bag then walk to the gym which is in a far away building. After all that I have to change into my gym clothes which is a hassle and then the workout which is one of the better parts of this whole endeavor. I sweat a lot today, so much that the neck of my tee shirt was soaked. So of course part of this whole process is changing out of my gym clothes and showering. Then to get dressed and re apply makeup where needed and gear up to head to my next class.

This my friends takes "Dedication" a word that I am trying to become best friends with. I know that if I say "Yes" in my mind and go to my locker to get my gym wear that it will be worth it. I always feel so great after I spend time at the gym. The whole thing is 1 1/2 hour process. I usually work out for 35-40 minutes and I always finish off with Justin Timberlakes "What Goes Around Comes Around" song because it gets me to go crazy at the end and forget the last 6 minutes. Anyway.

My class was cancelled this morning, which was a complete bummer. I was with Patricia and we went to the Mac Lab to complete our Olio Label for Layout and Copy and had lunch together. But basically I have been here since 8 am and my first and only class today is at 3pm. This is just insanity. Somehow I have managed to fill the time though which is really crazy. I am listening to Chantal Kreviatsuk, "Under These Rocks and Stones" which is an album Kyle got me for Christmas in one of the first years we were together. I love this album but there is something about all of Chantal's albums that I love. It's pretty simple, ask me my favorite bands and I say U2 and Chantal Kreviatsuk and now Third Eye Blind. Favorite movie you may ask? Pretty Woman. I have so many movies but if I had to choose a favorite it would have to be that one, who doesn't enjoy a love story of rags to riches.

I know I love it!

Back to going to to the gym. I am a bit unsure about the whole thing because I have never seen results with gym type exercise. I have seen a ton of success doing home DVD workouts and I guess I am skeptical about working out at the gym because so far I have seen no results and I am worried that if I continue to put all my effort in this and I never see results I will be majorly disappointed. I just want to see results. The first to loose 30 pounds before February or even better before January but I don't want to push a number that is too hard to achieve. I just really want to do the work and see results so I know I am moving in the right direction. I would love it if I found something that worked and I could just continue to do it and I would see my goal of one day wearing a bikini become more clear.

Well tonight will be another night, I am pretty sure we will be having something tasty and yummy for dinner. Last night's dinner was amazing. We had our first jar of spaghetti sauce from our canning day on Saturday. It was so delicious! Although today there are still a ton of dishes to do before we can make something yummy tonight. I am thinking maybe we'll have our favorite chicken fajita pizza and salad. Yum Yum.

Well I have only an hour now left before class so I will find something to entertain me until then.

Here is to another beautiful fall day, aren't they just divine?

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
