Day Started Like Only a Monday Could

November 29, 2010 by Shelli

So, as some of you know I go to the gym three mornings a week at “dark thirty” to work out.

Today was one of those days. I awoke to 6″ of fresh snow on the ground. That was great! But then things went downhill, fast.

As I dashed outside in the deep snow I accidentally pressed the alarm/panic button on my car’s remote. Oops. After what seemed like an eternity, but was really (only) 3 alerts, I was able to stop the panic. I’m sure I am now black-listed by all my neighbors. Certainly, I would understand.

Then, I could not get the driver’s door, or any of the doors, open. I’m pretty strong… Were they frozen solid?

So I did what would be considered by many of my girlfriends who are wives as unthinkable. I went and woke Jerry up to ask him if he could help me get the door(s) open on the car so I could be on my way.

I do not deserve Jerry. He was down there opening my door in no time (by pressing the “unlock” button on the remote). He even went the “extra extra mile” and scraped my windows. (BTW, he looked pretty good in his boxes and pack boots). Then the driver’s side wiper broke. It stopped wiping. Oh well.

On the upside, I had a great workout and saw a huge buck (a male mule deer with a huge antlers) on the way home so my little adventure at dark thirty had a happy ending.

Hi. My name is Shelli Johnson. I live on the frontier in Lander, Wyoming. I’m a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, certified life/leadership coach, wellness coach, keynote presenter and inspired speaker, leadership development facilitator, personal development strategist, writer and adventure guide. This blog mostly includes stories about adventures and travel, but other passions are reading/books, technology, fitness, nutrition, and national parks, so you’ll find a wide range of articles here. I am founder of Yellowstone Journal and YellowstonePark.com, and NationalParkTrips.com, which was my first business. My current company, Epic Life Inc., is in its 7th year, and going gangbusters. If you’re interested in learning more about my current work, I hope you’ll jump over there and learn more about that. I have a more personal blog, more directly related to life and living and leadership, at YourEpicLife.com/blog. I’d love it if you’d also check out that collection of my writings. Thank you for stopping by! Finally, if you’d like to connect with me directly, please email me if you’d like to connect.
