The end of 2024

-

 Love me some new beginnings. And this is kind of the ultimate new beginning, the ending of one year and the beginning of another. Reviewing last year's new year post, I had stated that I would be working on my mental health last year. And I did that to a large extent. Probably not as much as I should have, but I did. I'm in a much better place this year than I was last year. I have made a lot of strides in many areas, but there is still room or improvement. 

This year is all about momentum. I just need to keep moving forward. I want to move forward with my health, with my business, with my mental attitude. All of it, just keep making progress. We are leaving today for Dewey, AZ. When we return on Thursday I will need to dig into schoolwork to be ready for Monday. That's not that hard, I just need to sit down and do it. Probably 3-4 hours of solid work and I'll be all set. 

My business is humming along. I spent yesterday cleaning and organizing this room. I got all my little boxes labeled so I know what's in them. I threw away a bunch of stuff that was no longer working for me. I bought this little rolling stand that's real skinny and fits between my shelves and my desk area. In it I'm storing all my planner type stuff. I have a social media planner and a regular planner and a journaling planner along with stickers and more pens then a person has a right to. But it's all there so that I can just reach everything I need and, the best part, it's not sitting on my desk taking up real estate. I just realized I have a few more things to put in there to get my desk cleaned off completely.  Boom, just did it and now my desk is clean. I actually have space to work. Clutter really does clog my brain and blocks my creative juices. I'm not working on my business while I'm gone. I'm just not. I'm not even taking my computer. I'm taking my phone, my iPad, and my Kindle, that's it. Oh, and 2 hard cover books. I would love to finish both of them while I'm up there. But no work, no thinking about social media, no, no, no. I need a mental break and I'm using this trip as a way to get that. That is the downside about having your own business out of your home, you really can't get away from it. 

Anyway, that's it. That's all I've got for today. I'm going to go fold the clothes because I want to get some laundry done before the trip. Happy new year.

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...

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.

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...
