Gratitude Day 1

-

 My assignment this week is to write my gratitude every night for at least 3 minutes. So here I go: 

  • I'm grateful for a job that is only 4 days a week. Having a 3 day weekend every week is awesome. It gives us time to run errands on Friday and still have Saturday and Sunday for fun. 
  • I super grateful that my husband wasn't hurt more seriously when he took that fall on Friday. He banged his head on the ground and ended up with a small cut. I was so worried about his head, but turns out his elbow was much more of a problem. He got a huge egg on his elbow and it has been bothering him for 3 days now. 
  • I'm grateful for the ability to seek the proper care for my dog. I don't know exactly what is going on with Bella, but I'm glad that I have the smarts to figure out she needs someone else and the money to do it (shoutout to YNAB). 
  • I'm grateful there is only 2 more weeks of school left.  After the last 15 months, having the summer off this year will be amazing. Also, we are going on our first vacation in many years. So grateful for summer. 
  • I'm grateful that I found and have fully embraced Diligent Mind Self Care. It has made such a difference in my life. I was on the path to get here anyway, but DMSC just helped me get there much, much faster. 
  • I'm really grateful that I found YNAB. I have never been good with money and I didn't completely understand the proper way to handle it. YNAB has not only showed me how to handle it, but it has broken us from the paycheck to paycheck cycle. For the first time in my adult life I am not worried about money.

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.
