Gratitude Day 1

-

 It's that time again, gratitude time. I love this assignment because it reminds me to be grateful for everything in my life. I need to keep this up regularly. 

Today I am grateful for feeling better. I had an episode at the gym on Friday that scared the crap out of me and then yesterday I did not feel good at all. But today I feel much better, back to my normal self, and so I am grateful for my health. 

I'm also grateful for the fact that I have enough food to eat that I can be overweight. I don't want to be overweight, but that just means that food is not an issue for me and therefore something I am extremely grateful for. 

I'm grateful that we are back to school and things are relatively normal. I don't think it will stay that way, but I am thankful it is that way now. 

I'm thankful that I'm getting my front tooth fixed. Those teeth have bothered me for so many years and not having them has really been a blessing. I have not had pain in my mouth since they removed them. And, getting the crowns in will be amazing. 

I am thankful for having enough money to be YNAB broke. I have money to pay my bills and still have some put away, but I'm 'broke' because I don't have money to waste. 

I am thankful that I still have Bella and Lola. I know that I won't have them much longer and as much as I hate to see them get old, I love that they are still here and I can still love on them. 

I am thankful for every single day when I wake up and get out of bed. 

I am thankful for a job that I really do love. 

I am thankful for where I work. Having worked in a seriously toxic school, this place is literally just a ray of sunshine. I look forward to going to work every single day. 

I am thankful that I found a job/career that I really do love. I really enjoy teaching. I love the school environment and I can see myself doing this forever. 

I am thankful that I have made some good friends like Lee Turley at my school. She is funny and awesome to be around. 

I am thankful for friends like Janna and Mike. I love hanging out with them and just kicking it. 

Okay, that will have to be it for tonight.

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.
