Lesson 864: Do the Thing

 Hello, Readers.

It's another beauty of a weekend

here in Northwestern, Pennsylvania.

We are enjoying every drop of sunshine while it lasts.

I'm from Pennsylvania, you know.

To get outside 

every day

and enjoy nature

is my goal.

Or is it a habit?

I spend the first month of school

developing goals for very smart students.

Shhhhhh!

Don't tell them.

I'm not that big on goals.

I'm in the habit camp.

I agree with Ryan Holiday and the stoics.

Not sure who that is?
Watch this video.

CLICK HERE for Ryan Holiday NOT having goals

I like to watch his videos 

when I walk on the treadmill in the morning.

That's me,

doing my thing,

at 5:00 am.

                                                        My guy gives his best every day,

doing his thing.

He met up with some teammates

and backyard rivals last Sunday,

to shoot some promotional photos

for the return of Battle of the Bridge.

The Huskies and the Braves

will meet on the Iroquois field

the last game of the season.

Be there!

This gal does her thing out in Edinboro

in the Speech and Hearing Sciences Department.

I love to take photos,

but never made it a goal to become a photographer,

get a certain number of captures,

or invest in better lenses.

I do the thing,

making the best out of what I have

and keep an eye out.

And over time,

you get better.

It also helps

to have a cheerful sidekick!

She did her thing 

at Beast on the Bay 

last weekend.

She beat the BEAST!

A just think,

Natalie found her strength

from her favorite fuel!

Get out there this weekend

and do the thing

that makes you tick.

Lesson 863: Nothing But School

Hello, Readers.

Eloise is just returned home from a game,

and a rainy win it is!

The Rumble on Route 20

was in our favor this year!

Great job, Huskies!

Slam did great tonight,

but the victory wasn't quite the same without Truck next to him.

Truck got a dent.

Truck is on the mend

on the sidelines revving his engine.

And who was the handsome chain guy

for the Junior High game?

Mr. Retired himself!

He sure is finding plenty to do.

This guy always has plenty to do, also.

I think his Sponge Bob pencil case is keeping him focused.

Here's our lovely view of Clark School this year.

Depot Road is undergoing a huge project.

The pretty tree I love to photograph

through the seasons 

will have to be admired from a different angle.

The volleyball student section enjoyed a pajama night this week.

And now they have me thinking about my pajamas.

It was a long week

with not much excitement outside of school.

Except for this bee.

Bees excite Eloise.

Even when I'm not in school,

I like to learn things.

Natalie and I are going to learn 

how to make some Crumbl cookie copy cats!

We're attempting this one!

Eloise learns best through reading stories.

If you want to hear about some of my recent favorites,

come to the Lamp Post on Sunday from 3:00-5:00

for a book-telling.

Enjoy your weekend, Readers.
