Ironic?

How ironic after such an amazing weekend and a weekend to come must the bad luck occur now. A couple examples would be after getting nice and sweaty at track practice I had the wonderful experience of having the car having a dead battery. Oh but let us not forget the snow storm going on around me while I stand outside the car. While I made frantic calls to find anyone willing and able to come jump the car my breathe was only reminding me how cold I was becoming by coming out is clouds that fog the air engulfing me. After call after call with no answer, almost to tears in hopelessness I sat in the car with my head against the steering wheel someone finally calls back and can come help. I had the sudden burst of warmth from the possibility of the car might starting. Things might workout , I could hold on for another ten minutes. It was worth it, my hero (one of my friend's dad) came to rescue me. The car started , I jumped up and down with happiness, gratitude, and just to get the feeling in my frozen sweaty legs and arms. Then today I had the wonderful experience of having every thing that has a current of electricity shutting down or breaking for no reason. I barley got through this blog. But surprisingly last weekend as pulled me through. Hanging out with friends is becoming a bit more important to me now that I see its effect on my attitude. I can keep an optimistic view if I just have some time with my friends. Whether it be like pulling out crazy dance moves at a church activity, watching TV shows teasing the characters, or laughing in seminary, the laughter they bring lets me forget the bad luck I'm having. Let is come!! Well, I prefer if it didn't but still come if you dare. I'll meet it with a smile on my face and a new story to bring to my friends when they make the feelings the disaster brought disappear

We're Champions That Are Friends Forever

There is nothing to remind you the simple fun you can have with your friends when you are stuck in a building with them for 8 & 1/2 hours . I haven't had the luck to get to hang out with my church friends as much but this week I finally was pulled back to them. Each time I hang out with them it's an inspiration to me live more righteously and what small things in life can bring. Just babysitting with them after hanging with the for so long was one of the most fun thing I've done in a long time. I'm so blessed to have the friends that I have. They always can make me smile and forget the things of the world and bring me back to basics. They know when to pull me aside and calm me down or know, without asking, lending me their shoulder to let me reveal the sensitive side. I've found that no matter what path I am going down or if it takes twist, turns, loop-te-loops, or whatever my friends always pull me to my feet and keep me going. I hope for all of you that I can be a friend like that. Take the time to savor the sweet things in life then share then with your friends.

Bring it!!

Each year we make a New Year's Resolution(s) and for the first couple of weeks we stick to it. Then about a month later we give up or "forget" what it was. This happens year after year, but not this year!! I wrote my New Year resolutions down on a sheet of paper and hung it in my bathroom so I see them each day. Some are of course going to take time to get there fully, others are small and only need to be worked on each week. But this year I want to keep them past February and March. One of my goals is to start making healthy habits such as working out more and pushing myself in track to the limits. I want to build muscle, cut down on my times, and keep the workouts through the months to the next season. What are your things you want to work on? I want to make this year just as memorable as last year. Each year is a gift from God. Just keep the attitude that reminds us that life isn't forever, so live it up!

The road to your championship will not be a smooth, wide and easily traveled freeway. No, great accomplishments are never realized without first having to endure steep climbs, hard falls and sharp turns. The key to your success is perseverance and focus. Keep your focus on that which you desire to accomplish, your championship, and continually discover ways to, and ways not to, achieve your goals. Fall down and/or get knocked down 10 times and get back up 11..., and in so doing learn, grow and move closer to your championship.
