And it's Wednesday......

 The weeks go so fast but the days are slow. It's weird. Today it's just a brain dump since I have nothing to write about. 

The Happy Back Challenge day 2 was hard. They had a move I couldn't do. Well, I could do it but not well. We had to lay on our stomach, hold on to some blocks at chest level, and lift the blocks. That means squeezing your back and shoulder blades. I could barely get the blocks off the floor. Weird. 

The other day I was on the floor and was unsure how to get up. I don't like that feeling and that alone is a good reason to work out regularly. But on top of that, I'm feeling a little unsteady on my legs, especially in the morning. If I have to get up in the middle of the night, I'm very shaky on my feet. None of this I like. None. Of. It. This right here is more than enough reason to keep moving and to work out. I hate it. I want to be able to jump up out of a chair and walk without thinking about it. I want to sit on the floor and get up without worrying about how I will do it. This is complete Bullsh*t and it needs to end now. 

I'm really kind of over my DMSC membership. Things happen when and where you need them but they usually run their course. I'm wondering if this has run it's course for me. I still listen to the weekly focus and podcast every week, but I rarely do the assignments - mostly because I just forget. The weekly focuses are good, but I try to work on everything all the time. The group has died since he started Alliance and I'm just not getting much out of it anymore. I'm only paying $20 a month though so I keep it hoping things will change. He is doing a revitalization thing next week where he says it will revitalize us and the group. So we'll see. I started this mindful journey long before I found him and while he helped I think I may need to move on without him. Also, some of the things he says no longer resonate with me. He has made a couple of comments that just don't ring true in my ears and makes me want to not listen to him. Oh well, I'll give it a little bit longer and see how it goes.  I may never quit, but I may pull away. 

That's about it. My time is up and I need to get ready for work.

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.
