May is usually my month

Good things have generally happened to me in the month of May. Typically, I look forward to May because of my birthday, which usually brings travel plans. More than once it has been a transitional month for new career opportunities for me. Hoping more than ever that this holds true. This is the first year I can remember not being excited about the month of May. I am trying to remain positive and optimistic. Sometimes easier said than done.

I try to remind myself that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I have faith that there is some truth to this. However, that doesn't promise things will turn out as well as we hope. I have no intention of being Debby Downer, but being realistic is critical. I've drafted this post more than once and each time is slightly more positive. You certainly don't want to spend your time reading something negative. I know I wouldn't want to. So...moving right along.

Regarding updates on 32x32, I am sad to report that it's not going to be completed in time. It's certainly not for lack of effort. Lack of time, financial resources and even appropriate weather are all contributing factors. However, I will finish it. Maybe not in the next 10 days before my birthday. It could be this month, or maybe even this year, but I am confident that I will complete all of the items. In fact...I've already begun working on a new list. I will release it and begin once 32x32 is complete.

I've already shared this story with a few people, but for those who don't know I finally took the Spin class last week. Seriously the most agonizing 45 minutes I can recall. Spinning is a terrifically horrendous way to work out. I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people enjoy it. The hard part isn't the "work out" or exhaustion. Honestly I've had a better workout on the elliptical. I'm convinced that bike seat was sent from an evil place. How can anyone be comfortable on that thing. Seriously, c'mon!?! NEVER AGAIN! I have absolutely no desire to try it again. The instructor took the time to get me properly fitted and asked me after class how I did. When I told her I wouldn't be returning, I think she took it kind of personally. Maybe if they invent seats that don't leave me unable to sit or walk normally for two days, then I'll reconsider. P.S. It's okay to laugh at this story. ;)

Spinning right along...I completed another item on my list tonight. I attended the SNAP! Performance Production tonight at The Lincoln Theater. The venue was nice. Not quite what I expected, but nice. The show was very entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised.

Hmmm....wonder what the next challenge to be completed will be? May is shaping up to be a busy month.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
