It's all in the point of view

-

 I have a terrible habit of seeing things in black or white. This or that. Yes or no. I struggle to not have polar opposite opinions. I also tend to rely on lists more than I should and get frustrated when things don't go as planned. I'm a work in progress. 

The last couple of days we have woken up to rain. RAIN!!!!! It has been gloriously amazing and I've loved every second of it. It has rained most of the last 2 days and it is looking like it's going to rain again today. Yay!!!!! But, because of said rain, I have not been able to stick to my walking routine with Mavy. Now he is also a creature of habit and it is throwing him off too, but there is not a lot I can do about that. So Friday we did a short walk in the morning and then walked the canal around 3pm. Yesterday it was raining pretty consistently all day and we didn't get out to walk the canal until 2ish. Side note: he did not want to walk the canal again. I think he's out of shape, like me, and was tired from the day before.  Anyway, woke up this morning to rain again. Can't walk him this morning so that will have to come later. I want to go to the gym but it feels like my schedule is all screwed up. I feel out of sorts because the routine is walk him, go to the gym. I know this is ridiculous and I am working very hard on not being so rigid. That attitude has gotten me into the all or nothing thinking. Well, if I can't walk this morning may as well not walk at all. What????  That is so, so, so ridiculous. So I can't walk this morning, I will probably have a window of opportunity later. I'm really trying to get out of that type of thinking in all areas of my life. Work, play, home, etc. There are very few things that I have to do at a fixed time, almost everything I can roll with the punches. It is definitely in your point of view.

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.
