Will power

-
I wish I had this whole tub of will power for the changes I want to make. Today marks the 10th mile I have walked this week! It was extremely hard today, and I did grumble a bit the last few days! If it wasn't for Mark prodding me to accomplish my goal, I would still be in bed sleeping! Why is it that some people have will power and others don't? I thought about this as I was walking (the conversation I was having in my mind got me through the last grueling bit)! I came to the conclusion that we don't all have will power, it is something we work at. A trained runner doesn't start out kicking 15 miles in one day...they slowly work up to the 15 miles a little each day! Sorry to dispel the theory that others have more will power (even though I still think that way sometimes). I googled will power and found two well versed quotes! Hope you enjoy them!

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at."- Bruce Lee ***wish I had known this on Monday, he hee!

"It is easier to act yourself into a new way of feeling rather than feel your way into a new way of acting."- G. D. Morgan


Now on to other more important matters! I found out today that my grandfather has three blockages in his heart and on Monday he will be undergoing a CABG (we call it a cabbage-medical lingo)! For those of you who think it is a vegetable, think again. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft! The surgery is intense, and I hope you will all pray that it goes well! Mom, I hyperlinked CABG for you, so just click the word and it will take you to a website that will give you detailed information! Happy reading and call me with questions!

Tell Grandpa we will be thinking of him. Tell Delores to think good thoughts. After all she has been through that she can pull him through this too. She is strong.

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
