A Perfect Day!

Remember the Kinks’ tune from the sixties, “Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon”? That’s what I was doing on January 10th. I know it’s not fair to all of God’s FROZEN people to rub it in, but the day was just so perfect that I had to blog about it. Maybe you can get some vicarious warmth by reading this. (Note: The photos are intentionally oversized so that you can get a feel for the images.)

I joined my friends, The Heartbreak Hiking Fools, for a 30 person sunrise hike up Bulldog Trail in Malibu Lakes. Chilly at first but glorious by the end.

Didn’t set a personal best but still had a vigorous workout for the 6 mile round trip to the mountain top. Then we had our traditional post-hike coffee & bagels in Westlake Village. Truly a great way to start the day. All the exercise dues were paid in full, so I could relax and enjoy the day.

After my shower I got on my Yamaha FJR1300 motorcycle and rode about 40 miles of Mulholland Highway and Malibu’s coast. Check out the surfers in the photo (they are the little dots on the ocean behind my bike.)

Then I got home and learned that my interviews with Meet The Giants had been published and were now available both free and as part of a subscription in their website. Here’s the link to check them out and sign up for their free interview recordings. (And a screen shot of their listings)

So, all in all, I’d have to say that I’m living a charmed life. God has blessed me in so many ways and I’m grateful, but I also want these blessings for you. You were born for a purpose and you have the ability to make this a better world. Please do all you can to share your gifts and to guide others in sharing theirs.
