Yesterday was a normal day. Wake up. Spend some time with Jesus. Run some errands. Do a bit of online shopping. (Oops! Not on the to do list, but there you go!) Change into workout clothes intending to walk for a little while on the treadmill before sitting down to work on this post. But first, a trip downstairs to get the mail and pick up a package.
