"God Says Yes to Me"

"I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes
-Kaylin Haught, "God Says Yes to Me" from The Palm of Your Hand

Eating and Pooping!

My friend Mark made a comment at the gym last week about his dog that has been sick. He commented that the dog must be ok since he was still "eating and pooping". Another friend reminded me the other day that we used to gauge our baby's condition or health by whether they were eating and pooping. They don't let you out of the hospital until you are eating and pooping. Must be important. So, when someone asks how you are and you are having a bad day or tempted to answer in the negative - just stop and think - Hey - I'm eating and pooping!!!! I MUST be OK!!!!!!!!!! :)

Crossfit Games

I attended the Midwest qualifier Crossfit Games to support my friend , Feng, who was competing. She is an awesome athlete. Anyway, in the spirit of Crossfit, the competition was fierce, but the support from fellow athletes was awesome! This was more notable from the women competitors, but present throughout the games. These are timed competitions, so there were women that were finished before the others. These competitors gathered around the others to cheer them on to finish! I love that. For a taste of that kind of support, visit the gym that I go to in Ann Arbor - Joust Fitness.
