TUESDAY MORNING WITH SARAH!
Singer/Songwriter Sarah McLachlan-
We just had a birthday at the facility in Scottsdale where I work out every night. One of our trainers turned 32. She is amazing because she has a very low percentage of body fat and runs 50 mile marathons. I was on the recumbent bike doing my usual 12 mile run with a buddy next to me on the elliptical machine. He raced cars with Steve McQueen and Paul Newman in the 1970's--fascinating guy. Anyway, I said: "Can you believe ______ (not her real name) is 32? We should all be that lean". Without missing a beat, my friend looked over his shoulder at her and said wryly with a Texas accent, "Yeah, well. Not all of us can be ______(not her real name) either". I then said: "Yeah, and not all of us can be married to Sarah McLachlan!" Okay, on that note it's time for my Quote of the Day!

No we can't all be that lucky, but we can dream...
Of Dr. Leo, if only more people listened to him and tried to live a life of love (central message of Jesus btw) how pleasant life would be on this planet.
sarah ROCKS.
i need to play catch up with your blog.
i also lost my cell in KY, so shoot my an email with the digits.
CHUG~A~LUG!
i love sarah! i have bunchs of her songs on my iPod.
and you're right. small kindnesses sometimes are just that, small kindnesses... but sometimes too they come at the "right time" and make a positive difference in someone's life.
Everyone neeeds to be acknowledged.
Ah yes, to wake up with Sarag singing in the shower! :)
Ah! Recumbent chatter! If only.........!
PM: I couldn't agree more. That is really how it was meant to be in the first place. Thanks for stopping by, my friend! :)
Girl Rants: Digits are on the way! It was wonderful to see Gus, Janna and Garlynn again! :)
Seraphine: Yes, acknowledged and appreciated with sweetness. Some people go an entire lifetime without even hearing a kind word such as "Sweetheart". We have to avoid those who are filled with apathy and become more for ourselves and others! :)
Sage: Brings to mind the line Al Pacino speaks in "Scent of A Woman"...to wake up the morning after just entwined! First CD I bought from her was "Surfacing". Sweet!
Seamus: Hahaha! Recumbent and Eliptical chatter! This girl has always captivated me as someone who could change your life for the better in minutes! :)
A great picture of Sarah!
Jean-Luc Picard: I don't think she could ever take a bad photo. As John Lennon sang, "Imagine"! :D)
