Coming to terms

-

I firmly believe that things always work out the way they are supposed to. It may not be the way we want it to, but it's the way it is supposed to be. Now that does not mean I won't fight for things. It means I try not to be an idiot and fight for something that is not going to work out. I generally use the brick wall model. If there is a brick wall in my way, and I find a way around that wall, but the wall moves....I generally take this as meaning it is not supposed to happen. So I am working very hard on viewing this knee/should issue as happening for a reason. There is something that I will get out of this that I just can not see right now. I'm trying to take a Zen approach to it. It is not easy, but I'm trying,

I developed a head cold on Friday and it pretty well kicked my butt over the weekend. But, in typical fashion, I decided last night I was over it and I woke this morning feeling pretty darn good. Still a little stuffy, but I will survive. We are heading out to Costco this morning to get crab for New Year's dinner. Hubby took the day off from work and we will run around together. Fun....

I passed up on Parkour tonight. I decided that with my knee and all the landing on your feet they do, it was not a good combination. I do want to try Parkour, but it will have to wait for another time. I will however, do Crossfit tonight. That is a definite. I'm kind of sad about not running. I really want to run, but that is out of the question with this knee. But it still makes me sad :(

Okay, enough nonsense. I need to plan my day because I am spending far, far too much time doing nothing.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
