We went to Wild Mountain today to ski with Gunnar and a billion other Jammer's and their families. I just love beautiful winter days like today. I think it would definitely be a day if filmed would make people from warmer climates freak! It was so beautiful (30's) that we skied with our jackets open and I had to take my mitts off while waiting for the lift to cool down. This huge group of skiers also participated in an outdoor hot dog & beans picnic. We totally filled up all the outdoor picnic tables and still had 1/2 the group in line for food. It was pretty cool to look out over a sea of picnic tables (50+) and see all these skiers in their T-shirts, sunglasses and just soaking up the fun. Today I saw Minnesota skiers in shorts, tutu's, mohawks, beach gear, unicorn helmet covers, wild wigs and even a cow with udder's costume. I found that last one a bit odd in general, but skiing...ever thought about a skiing cow?
All of us are pleasantly tired, a bit sun & wind burned and ready for a relaxing evening.

Chapter 1 What is Work?
I think I am going to work this where I document key ideas or at least ideas that meant something to me. Then I will work through the questions and/or task that are asked of the reader. Often there are fun little exercises such as todays:
In today's world we define work as to carry out duties of a job and play as doing something enjoyable. What are some words that we could create that combine the two? What if you had a job that you enjoyed? What term would you use for volunteering at church? 'volking' Or what would you call doing a job around the house? 'horking'
The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

That's all for now folks!

48 Days to the Work You Love...
by Dan Miller
Believing that God created me for His purposes and scheduled every day of my life, I commit the next few months to a new clarity and a plan of action for moving into God's calling for me.

It is supposed to be a 48 day process, but I am hoping to get through a few lessons a week
