Oh, No! Not Another One!!!
Friday the 13th. That's two this year- April and now July.

Thank goodness we don't have another one until next June. I don't know whether I could take it.

But It Is A Day to Relax
It has been an intense several weeks or so as I have been working on several things that finally came to an end this past week. Since Monday the whole thing has been out of my hands and I now sit and wait. I do not like this kind of waiting. So, I kind of sat around today (my day off) and felt out of sorts. You work and work toward something and then it's done and you get a mental whiplash.

I got up late, went out and sat on the porch and read and dozed and read. Feeling out of it I sat down and watched my wife writing her sermon. She looked over at me and said, "Why don't you go exercise?" So I did.

She is so smart.

I realized as I was working out that it has been ten days since I last worked out. No wonder I was feeling so out of it. Exercising has become an important part of my life. When for various reasons I get out of the routine I notice the problem. And it's more than just physical. It also seems to affect my ability to think clearly. Maybe it was finally getting some increased oxygen running around my bloodstream and body. Maybe it's producing endorphines. Who knows! But I am glad it worked.

It may also have something to do with this information that was at LiveScience the other week...

Exercise stimulates the growth of new brain cells, a new study on rats finds. The new cells could be the key to why working out relieves depression.

Previous research showed physical exercise can have antidepressant effects, but until now scientists didn’t fully understand how it worked.

See, I feel smarter already!
