Time for a little introspection

-

 I feel like I'm at the point in my life where many things are in place. I have a career that I enjoy (most times) and am good at (most times). I have the house I want and live in a place I really do love. I have money in the bank and am not really wanting for anything. So what things would I like to do every day that would make my life better? That is the million dollar question. Let's spitball.....

  • Reading. This is a great thing to do. It opens my mind and exposes me to new things that I may not have considered before. So this is a good thing to do every single day. The thing is, I read every night before bed. Does that count? Granted that is fiction, but it's reading. So do I count that or do I wish to add more reading on top of that? 
  • Sitting in the front room. This is something I really enjoy doing. Yesterday I sat in one of my awesome chairs playing Animal Crossing and really loved it. I love looking out the front window at my awesome little cul-de-sac. If I added more reading to my day, this is where I would do it. So I definitely think more reading is in order. 
  • Games. I currently play two games, one of them on two devices. I enjoy these games a lot, but I don't really need them to make my life happier or fuller or whatever you want to call it. So I think these should probably be saved for the weekends or when I really and truly have free time. 
  • Tracking my steps. This is something I should do regularly. I tend to not really think about my steps a lot. So I could track my steps daily just to be aware of them. 
  • Hip challenge. That is pretty much non-negotiable now. I have experienced first hand the benefits and I am definitely going to continue this into the future. 
  • Blogging/journaling. This is back in my life. I really enjoy writing and using the writing to think things through. So this is definitely on the list. 
  • The weekly assignment for DMSC. This needs to go on my habit list and be incorporated every single day. These are good and I need to do them. 
Okay, got my 5 habits. Now to write them down and keep at it.

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.
