Time to hit the social media

-

 Again!!!  I completely stepped away from the whole social media thing. I haven't posted in a very long time and that is not good. I have to get on a schedule and stick to it. 

I've said this before but I really have to stick to it now. I just don't do social media and I hate being forced to do it. But, hating something doesn't make it happen. So let's say that I enjoy it and am looking for unique and amusing ways to do it. I have to make it fun and I have to make it me. That's the only way it will work. 

So, time to dig in. 

I started this post on Monday, 6/10, and it is now Tuesday, 6/11, night. I've spent the day focusing on social media and planning. There was a 2-day bootcamp type thing on social media. I have some more of those videos to watch but I caught some and picked up a few things so that's good. Then I got into another bootcamp style thing on planning. It is all about how to plan, making your planner a habit, making stickers for your planner, things like that. I got a cool digital planner that may work for me. I prefer paper planners but I like digital because it's easy to change. I like the digital planner because it has the week all laid out on one page, so it will be good to put down my appointments and such for the week.  Plus it will be a good place to do a brain dump every week. It has a large to-do list on the side so I can list everything I want to do and figure out the best days to do them and put them in my paper planner. I think could be a good mix of digital and paper and could really help keep me on track. 

Now, these plans are all good and well but the huge problem I have is not checking my planner. Letting it go for days. Weeks. Months. The first thing I need to work on is the habit of planning. One of the videos I watched today talked about habits and how to form them. One of the things they recommend is that starting slow. I need to pick one thing at a time and work on forming that habit. Then I could add another and work on that until it becomes a habit. I can do this. I'm actually going to work on two habits initially. Planning and stretching. The planning is the one I need to work on more, the stretching I need to feel better. 

Okay, time to move to my paper planner and get it set up for tomorrow.

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.
