Yesterday was a good day

-

 I blog in the mornings right after I meditate. It's a great way to kind of set my intentions for the day. Yesterday, after blogging, I went and did some reading. That was nice. I haven't done that in a long, long time. I used to have the habit of reading every morning before work and when I came home from work. But life got in the way and I lost those habits. During school I won't be able to read in the mornings, but I'm going to take advantage of it when I can. After blogging yesterday, I took a couple of minutes and wrote out "Who do I want to be today?"  in my planner and I really think that was powerful. More powerful than I realized at the time. I ended up getting a lot more accomplished yesterday than I have in a couple of days and it felt good. Now I wasn't perfect. I had time on the couch coloring and I almost fell asleep in my chair reading, but overall it was a really good, productive day. 

In the book Atomic Habits, he's talking about habits that we all have that we are not even aware of. I'm going to focus today on those and see if I can find them. I'm a lot more mindful and aware than most people, so I'm going to see if I can pick up on my unconscious habits. This should be interesting. 

Other than that, I really have nothing. I did go to the gym yesterday and it should have been leg day. But with the lingering knee issue, I modified it some and made it more of a core day. I did do some leg work laying on the floor, but not a lot. 

So I'm off to read for a bit before anyone else gets up and starts making noise.

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.
