Etta’s Nest

Pax: Jewels, Bindi and Zinny

Warm-up: In cadence 10
Potato diggers

The Thing: See picture below
There was only four of us so we did a four person Dora style workout with two people doing the exercises and two people running. Rep numbers were split between the four of us.

COT:
In this time of Covid and uncertainty, remember to be thankful for the things you have. Family, friends and our health.

Colossians 3:17 says “ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

In Psalms 107:1 it says “ Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever,”

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I pray you all have a blessed thanksgiving.

COT: Start a “thread” of all the good things that happened in 2020. I saw this idea posted on social media and I just love the idea that we can create a mental thread of all the good things that have happened this year, among the obvious bad. Just a quick list in your mind of the good- this mental reframing is so helpful going into this Thanksgiving week that we really have a lot to be thankful for.

COT: Out of My Control: share how deck of card workouts are great for introverted Q’s (like self) and how the outcome is out of my control. I struggle with being a control freak so it’s good to remind myself that I need to trust God and not in an outcome. Especially with everything going on in our country but that’s small when I look and see how much little I do actually have control over in my life. Trust and have faith and that it’s ok to be out of control.

COT: seasons – my family moved from Tampa FL 3 years ago in Dec. It’s gone by so fast. Living in that climate made me forget the beauty of all 4 seasons. It was truly a struggle when I moved here. The cold almost gave me a sort of anxiety. But over time I’ve realized that I’ll be fine! The cold won’t hurt me! I have come to truly enjoy each season in its beauty and purpose! In life we need to do the same. Don’t wish this season away! It may be tough and have its challenges but it has its beauty and purpose. Don’t wish for things to be different be present and contend in the season you’re in!

Quote: Nature gives to every time and season unique beauty; from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it’s just a succession of changes so soft and comfortable that we hardly notice the progress. -Charles Dickens

There is a harmony is autumn and I listen in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
