The update - it is necessary

Due to immense mocking of my detailed planning for the completing of my 101 things, I haven't really been focused on accomplishing the list. However, as September is a type of new year...I will re-commit to my 101 things. If there is one thing I did learn this summer, life is incredibly short and can change in a breath.

Quick update:
- backed up my music and photos by purchasing an external hard drive (my life is very exciting - I know!)
- am reading "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle and finishing "Can You Drink the Cup" by Henri Nouwen. I hope to begin "An Imperfect Offering" by James Orbinski very shortly.
- am slowly catching up on my runs - yesterday did 5 km in 31 minutes (thank you Jeremy for being my running partner!). My 10 km run is in 4 weeks!

So, I hope to have more regular updates as I get back into my groove here.

an update of sorts

- Started running again...way behind on my running plan...don't know if I will ever catch up.
- Watched three of the AFI movies: Easy Rider, Bonnie & Clyde, and Apocalypse Now. All very different but fascinating.
- Been reading too: The Last Word, and the Word After That by Brian MacLaren, and The Men I Didn't Marry (can't remember the authors name as have returned the book to the library)
- Had friends over last week
- Did some paintings with words/quotes and also played with Wordle
- This weekend, the plan is to purchase the macbook and the external drive - oh the joy!
- Bought a new bathing suit & it was not a painful experience at all. I was way less critical than I have been in the past. Are bathing suits made from different material these days versus five years ago? My new suit is keeping everything in the right place and the right shape...Fabulous!
That is a brief update with no pictures but this blog is about a list after all.
