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.

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.

And 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.

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.

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.

It 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.

It 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 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.

The 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.

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.

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.
Jose G. Osuna
Share the love gang.
SO??? DO YOU???
STILL WANT TO QUIT???
Gang stay focus stay successful.

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.

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!!
Jose G. Osuna
Please add this post to any and all
social media forums we must help
Santa.
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.
Jose G. Osuna
Gang., please share the love and post this
on your preferred social media channel below.
I Believe In You!!
Now make sure that you continually
reinforce your goals
And continue to believe in YOU.
Gang I admire and respect
each and every one of you.
Let’s continue to fight the good fight.
