In the last few months, I’ve been able to put together a consistent exercise routine. I’ve been able to weather the storms of January when we had extreme cold. In addition, I have also broken the curse of the New Year’s Resolution. In fact, my visits to the gym have either increased or have stayed steady since February. Of course, life does get in the way sometimes. I had to miss a few days this month as my car needed new front brakes and was in the shop. Warmer weather has also given me opportunities to go outside and take walks. I’ve been enjoying hitting up some of the local parks in the area.
Monday could have been the fifth consecutive day that I was going to get out. However, I took a break to work on a blog post. Sometimes it’s OK to give yourself the option to stay home and catch up on things. I hadn’t written in a few days and felt that it needed attention. I discussed my reading journey and where I’m heading with it. Friday wraps up “On Air”, but I’ll read some of Josh Shapiro’s memoir as well.
Sometimes I do too much and I need to face facts. I’m just not able to do everything that I want to do. But here are some of the local parks that I like to walk at when the weather is nice. I’ve been to Hempfield Park a few times and this past week I’ve visited Penn Township Municipal Park. I’ve also walked around downtown Greensburg a few times. It’s nice when I don’t have to feed the meter.
When I have a free night, I’d like to order some food and go to Twin Lakes or Mammoth Park. I’ve also wanted to check out Duff Park and walk over to the new Groove Coffee Co, as well as the trail down in Export.
This week, I struck while the iron was hot and got out when I could. Sunday and Wednesday I went to the gym and made the most of my time there. You have to know when to pick your battles. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect than it was on Tuesday with sunshine and 65 degrees. Perfect for April 21.
Time to close off the blog. This week at work and while out on my walks (both at Penn Township Park), I enjoyed some praise and worship music. Cutie’s is starting up their bible study in a week and a half. Weather permitting, I’ll be there. First night is May 4.
This year, I’m also hoping to get back to church as well. Neither work nor Toastmasters has kept me from going. You can place the blame mostly on trauma from my past as well as just needing to take a break. I’ve gone back a few times since I stopped going regularly in 2021.
As for the music, I listened to a lot of Michael W. Smith, as well as a little For King and Country. Other artists I also enjoy are Matthew West, Mandisa (RIP), and Big Daddy Weave, to name a few. I’ve been channeling my past this week and thinking about my college days as well, when I enjoyed some of those tunes.
