Pool Sundays

The power went out. Right in the middle of my morning SportCenter and editing this here blog. I guess it's the universe telling me to brush my teeth and go to the gym, so I grudgingly change out of my PJs and put on some sneakers. We live in one of those communities with a pool, bar, and gym all within strolling distance, so I meander down to the gym to find that it's not only our apartment, it's the entire complex that's out of power! What's a girl to do? Instead of throwing a fit like some of my neighbors who were trying, fruitlessly, to call the office to see what the HECK was going on, I swiftly changed into my brightest bikini and sped down to the pool. So here I sit, matching brightness with my boyfriend's neon green shorts, baking in these rays...What a hard life we have!
The point of my story is that I could have easily allowed this small blip in my day become the thing that ruined it...I didn't get to hear all about Tiger's injury and return, I was just about to press Save on my latest article, I missed my workout and now have to wear a bikini...but it's just as easy to focus on the positive. I can read about Tiger instead of mindlessly watching TV, I can bring my iPad to the pool and see if my work can be salvaged, plus I'll never be the skinniest girl, so who cares if I miss a workout?
Simple twists make all the difference...Happy Sunday Funday!
