Last Saturday was my first time as an altar server. The man I was serving with asked me if I was nervous. I wasn't. I got to carry candles, a bucket of holy water for the priest and the bread. I had fun and I was told by the priest and a couple other altar servers that I did a great job. This Saturday, I will be an altar server again.
I have been running since the beginning of the year. Even though the half-marathon is in October, I wanted to get a jump start on the training. I downloaded a half-marathon training schedule and have been following it. So far so good. Ask me how I'm doing when I have a scheduled run of 10 miles. That might be a different story.
Besides running, I have been reading and watching DVD's received at Christmas. The first book I read this year took me a day. The second book is taking longer, its been almost a week. I always read one book super fast then drag on the second book. The DVD's I have been watching is the series of Six Feet Under. Granted I received them on Christmas 2006 and started to watch them now. I needed a break from the series because a couple weeks before Christmas 2006, I watched the entire series through Netflix. Is is just me or others as well? When I watch DVD's of television shows I always have to start from the beginning. Six Feet Under had five seasons, there is no way that I would pull Season 3 and start from there. I have been watching SFU for a week, right now I'm on Season 4.
I received an ipod for Christmas. This week my husband showed me how to use it. I loaded some songs Monday and Tuesday. Today I went to add songs but ended up deleting them. I had to upload close to 100 songs again. Not fun.
I love my ipod. I can take it everywhere with me. At work I love it because I can walk away from my computer freely. Before I had an ipod I would take CD's in and plug in headphones into my computer tower. When I needed to get up and go somewhere I would always have to stop the CD and take off my headphones. Now I can just get up. Also, I took my ipod with me to a basketball game last night. Listening to music while photographing made the game made it go faster. Now it will always be with me at games.
I downloaded The Dance by Garth Brooks for my ipod. I know the song is about a loss of life. When I hear the song, I think of my dad. The day he died, my mom, brother and sisters were talking with him in our kitchen. We all had laughs and it was a great conversation. Who would of knew that about eight hours later he would be gone forever?
The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
