Merry Christmas.

only god can

I know that not all of us share the same faith

I can respect that. But, today as always I say:

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad and

Happy Birth Day Jesus.

In God’s Love Everyone Is Someone.

Another B’ Day.

 

Today is my Birthday and I am so happy to

have a chance to celebrate with my lovely

and extremely patient wife Amythest.

There will not be any candles on my cake

as we do not want to have the fire department

come and visit again.

All joking aside, I am thankful to my dear God

for all of the many blessings in my life.

Grateful for the ones that choose to be around

and more grateful for the ones that choose to

bless us by keeping their distance.

Lots Of Love and thanks for all the Facebook

birthday wishes.  Always Grateful.

Yes You Are!

you are too yungAnd for all that: Do not allow anyone to judge for being too old either.

We have things to do and who and how we are is no one else’s business.

What we want to change about us is not anyone’s business either,

so if you want to lose an ounce or a whatever amount of pounds

Rock On With Your Bad Self.

You decide what your future looks like., Only you.

Be a shark. Be a freaking SHARK.

On Partners.

DSC_0052

Remember how easy it used to be to

call on your friends and get to misbehaving?

How come it becomes so hard to find a partner

to work out and hold you accountable?

I have been trying for quite a while to find someone

to go to the gym with me and have been unsuccessful.

For many, what we do is difficult and weird or at least

inconvenient. The bad part is that as we go on

working out and exercising we get used to

doing it on our own and it makes it difficult later to

let anyone in the circle.

An accountability partner is always a good idea

so keep trying to find someone. And be patient

with them by the way. Remember WE are weird.

Keep the weirdness going gang who wants to be normal.

Normal is broke, Normal is fat, Normal is dull,

Normal is what NOT to be.

By the way. Those three monsters in the picture are

my kids Riley, Levi, and Logan.

Attitudes.

1457712_735144046514425_1918118794_nThis is the attitude we need

when dealing with negative, insensitive,

ignorant people.

It is human nature to allow others to

have influence in us.

If “they” are not walking day by day

in our shoes with our ups and downs,

our challenges and battles., their opinions

mean only what we allow them to be worth.

Don’t give-up that much power to anyone.

And to my friend in the Carolina’s I say

You can do it, you are worth it, YOU DESERVE IT.

Believe Them.

816fe731960eb7f315a48d2ee9df43b5It is hard not to notice the roll of the eyes or

lack of attention and even harder the void

looks as we try to share.

Reality is: Some people just don’t care.

They don’t care about your struggle, they

don’t care about your challenges, and they

sure as shit don’t want to hear about your

success. Why? because they hate you?

because they don’t want you to succeed?

No I feel that many a time it is because your

effort and commitment shows to them and

everyone what is possible…. If they only tried.

It is uncomfortable for some.

But I also believe… Most Just Don’t Care.

Don’t let that stop you. Don’t let that be a problem.

Just keep doing all you can to accomplish your

goals and dreams after all it is you who has to

diet, exercise, walk, take your meds… You know

the drill. Just keep on keeping on.

The Impact Of Other’s In Our Life.

be alergic to negative peopleIt is incredible the impact that at times other people around us have in our life.

We can not choose our family but I tell you if someone from your family brings

you down it is time for you to choose just how much time you spend with him/her.

If you have a friend whom you love but is poisoning your efforts it is time for you to

love from a distance., a safe distance.

Many will say “I will help you” “I will support you” “I am here for you” and they will.,

until you actually need them. Then the diarrhea of excuses happens.

Choose the people around you. Your life, dreams and hopes are way too important.

Find and associate with persons who bring value to your life.

Let Them Talk.

worry about yourselfLet others worry and talk about whatever

they want. YOU on the other hand

must worry about you!

No one will do what it takes to make you

better and they shouldn’t.

“If it is to be it is up to me”

is the policy we must live by.

Clean eating, exercising, sleeping,

hydrating and all the other things we do daily

to keep us going benefit only us.

with that in mind make sure that you

are working on your goals (you have them right??)

Live better and longer by remaining

focus on the daily improvement of you as a

person and individual.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Regardless.

Always AlwaysThe inherent imperfection of being human.

We hope too much, We love too much.

We expect too much, We want too much.

We give too much, We push too much.

And some times we and those around us

fall short of what is expected.

Maybe it is just me.

The reality is that we all must be

honest, realists, sensible specially when

it comes to planning our activities.

We must at all times keep the main thing

the main thing as Mr. Covey told us.

Let’s keep those things that are relevant to us

on the front burner and continue to push.

Our health and goals are worth it.

Let’s make it happen.

Keep Working Today On A Better Tomorrow.

Fame and Fortune.

screenshot_20161007-105920

 

This is an intersection that everyone wants to be at.

Me… I have found I have a different intersection I want to

reside at: “Peace and contentment” yes that is what I want.

Because I have found that I have big wants and goals, the road

for me to reach Peace and contentment had to be re-paved

and now a large part of me getting what I want is based on the

concept of purposely and intentionally help and support others

even, or specially those that I do not know.

How you, me and anyone else goes about the business of

living this great life of ours is up to each one of us.

If in the process of you accomplishing your goals and plans

be them financially as you try to grow your fortune or as

you work on loosing weight or becoming a better listener or whatever area

of your life you are working on

keep your eyes open for those you can make a difference for.

Help someone and know that you are making a difference.

Do not wait for people to ask. Be a friend even for those that

you don’t even know or I should say specially to those that

you don’t even know. I hope you will.

Gang go out there and be a friend. YOU will be better for it.

Give someone a hand, a coin or a piece of bread and don’t wait for them to ask.

Help Someone.

Edit Your Life.

edit your life.jpg

Cuts and adjustments must be made in order to keep things

in order. Not everyone will walk across the finish line with us.

Some people will choose to take a different road and it is ok.

Others will try to stay around but will be unable to do it.

Some we must cut and send on their way and that too  is ok.

Pay attention to those close to you and figure out what is their

place in the big picture. Your big picture.

You see it is not that people are there only to serve you

but that they are there to BE PART OF. If they are not willing

or able then why are they in your life???

Be Fair and be honest about you and others.

Are you being part of others life? Are you sharing, learning,

teaching, being present? Are those around you doing the same

things for you??? If you or them are not then it is time for

removal and separation.

Living in honesty stay focus stay successful.

The Meds In Our Days.

Pills

I know very well that I have to take certain meds

every single day. At very specific times.

 I know that I need them.

But What to do when for whatever reason we

are unable to take them. What to do when

the pain hits and you are unable to function.

If you are depressed or dealing with fibro

with out your meds you might as well

just sit and breath as there is not much else

you can do. I KNOW.

There are many reason why we at times are

unable to take our meds as prescribed and

we must avoid that by any means but when it

happens try to have a plan B even if it is just

to howl at the moon in a therapeutic fashion.

or fantasize about inflicting the same pain

on some one who has not kept their promises.

Hope you never go through putting up with pain

because of lack of meds… It Sucks

If you use lyrica or Cymbalta like I do you know

how severe the withdrawals are if you do not

follow the prescribed times.

I guess I am just venting and letting my own

body know that we still have more battles to

fight in the future. All in all pains and all

I am grateful to be alive today.

I wish you all a great one today and always.

All I Want For Christmas Is:

Hello Lovely.

I have been sending a letter to Santa every day

for the last 6 months. I do not ask for much

I just want a date with Adele.

If you have any space left open when you

write your letters to Santa please remind him

of what I have asked.

Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL!!

The Season.

20120602_163445_resizedThe weather is changing.

I find myself nostalgic and missing my home

in Mexico. This picture was taken there

a while back., sitting on the balcony.

I am not there right now. Wish I was.

I went for my walk today and for the first time

I required a jacket. A sure sign that I will

need to be mindful about food as we approach

the season of the year when many of us do

the most damage to our plans and goals.

Gang. Our journey is not one where we have to

deny ourselves of everything we love to eat.

We must however start with a plan and a clear

and honest idea of what is going to happen.

I will on one day have mashed potatoes. I know this

and I know what day that will be. So before I sit

at that table I will force my self to drink two (2)

glasses of water and then and only then I will

confront the potatoes.

I have a plan. Maybe dumb and silly for some

but this will work for me.

During the season I will eat pumpkin pie, turkey,

gravy, etc. And I will enjoy it.. A Lot.

I miss Rocky Point, Mexico So Very Much.
