Yesterday was a supreme success

-

 I have been struggling with making social media postings a regular thing. Then I bought this calendar that told me what to post every day, it even gave me copy to use. So I did that for a couple of days and realized that it wasn't me. I was suffering some cognitive dissonance because what this person was writing was so weird and I tried to make it my own and it just came out even weirder. So last night I decided to just post what I felt like posting. I posted my Book Valet as a story (btw I hate stories but apparently they are the way to go). Then I posted my heart/love earrings for Valentine's Day next week. And the best part is I feel really good about it. Really good. I then worked on my website for a while which is something that has been weighing on my mind, so I feel good about that too. I probably only worked on all of that for about an hour and a half. That's all. Once I get into the flow of things I'm sure it will go much quicker. My goal is to get my website back up by this weekend and to be posting on social media every single day. I am using that calendar as a basis and will use the copy for inspiration, but I basically have to do it myself. I have to find my own voice. I have to put in the effort to find my own voice and I think I'm ready to do that now. I have to face the fact that until I get a real routine going, and I get posts made in advance, I will need to force myself to work on this every single night. Yes, there are times when I don't know what to post so what I need to do is create a vault of what to post when I don't know what to post. OMG, that's an awesome idea. A post vault. I also need to keep track of my posts so I don't repeat too frequently. I think I'll set that stuff up tonight and work on my website more. I'm energized and excited about this. Time to quit screwing around.

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.
