Benefits already

-

 Walking for 3 days and I am definitely seeing some benefits already. 

First, my sleep is fabulous. My sleep is always good, but with a little bit of exercise it's absolutely amazing. 

Second, my back is not hurting as much. Again, movement really helps these things. 

Third, energy levels are up. I have been very busy these last couple of days and I know it's because of increased energy levels. 

So yeah, just a few days of walking and I'm feeling things. Now I just have to figure out how to keep this up during the week. Today is Labor Day so we have off, but tomorrow it's back to school. I'm going to have to figure out something quick. 

Today is kind of a catch up day. Hubby is golfing and I'm going to get laundry and stuff done. Nothing exciting, just normal stuff. 

I do want to try a showstopper. I belong to this group and the owner creates these designs that she calls showstoppers. They are large, elaborate, and absolutely gorgeous. I have tried a medium sized one and was not thrilled with the way it came out. But I'm dying to push my limits and try a larger one. I also want to try this thing called shaping. That is where you take some of the pieces and round the edges before painting and assembling. This gives the design a somewhat 3-D effect and I just love it. So I think I'm going to start one of those today - it will take time to finish. I also have some finishing up to do. I have to put hooks on a keyholder (maybe make some more?????). I need to get some hardware on some earrings and get some earrings painted. And pictures and listings. Those need to be finished up today. That is a must. 

I would also like to look at some school work today, but I don't know if I will get to it. I can find a few minutes to at least look it over. 

Okay, I was killing time until it got closer to sunrise. It has, so now I can go walk Mavy.

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.
