Keeping my cool

I get my optimistic perspective in life from my mom.  I can't remember many (if any) times while growing up that my mother ever imagined the worst of anyone or any situation.  She is still like that and I guess some of it has rubbed off on me.  I say "some" because I'm not completely like that.  I'm usually optimistic about situations and circumstances but not often about people.  You know what I mean?  Well if you don't then we'll just move on. 

So in light of my present trials and tribulations I have kept a mostly positive attitude.  Life goes on and as I've mentioned before, God is in control anyways and always brings good out of the seemingly bad.  I can't reiterate that enough.  So I press on.  My job is to trust.  The only thing I can control is my attitude.  So............

On a positive note....:)  I have the beginnings of a bruised toe.  That would be my middle toe on my right foot.  As it progresses into awesome blackness and blueness I'll take a picture and post it for all of you runners out there.  For those who get lightheaded at the sight of things like that, just bear with me and skip that lovely post.  I noticed it after my run on Sunday.  I did 6 miles.  Some of you do more than that every time you run but I'm thinking that's pretty good for running in the 95 degree weather, give or take a degree.  I was a soaked mess by the time I was done so I came home and showered and went swimming with the family.  :)  Cory thinks I'm insane.  Actually in all reality?  It helps me KEEP my sanity. 

On a different subject, I still haven't ordered Emma's curriculum for this coming year.  I'm considering something completely different than what I had decided on before.  Yes, I can change my mind if I want to.  I'm a woman.  It's what we do! 
I'm considering a classical type of education.  It's more expensive though.  Have any of you gone that route? Just curious.

Well it's supposed to be over 100 degrees here in North Carolina.  The pool has become like a bathtub.  We went swimming yesterday but not today.  Today I'm meeting a dear friend for lunch and keeping my cool inside in the AC..............until tonight when I go for another run!  Can't wait!  Yes, I'm serious.
