medic0020's Group - CLOSED--BUSTIN AT THE SEAMS (Page 7)

Got in a little late this morning.  My daughters "totally safe"land rover turned out to be not so safe.  My son-in-law was able to jump out before it exploded.  His cell phone was melted to the console.  Made for an exciting morning.  The picture is below.

Good to see all the exchange.  Work was a push today and had to squeeze in five miles on the treadmill at the end of today before taking clients to dinner.  Work and snow get in the way.  Your comments about being able to train at will are well taken.  No pool until I get back to AZ at the end of the month.   Reading about the swim strokes was very helpful, I am at the "feeling totally clutzy in the water" phase.  When I get to AZ I will exparement with breathing on different sides.  It makes good sense.  If anyone has questions about running, go ahead and ask.  I have done a lot of it and have in done some smart stuff and pretty stupid stuff.

Off to bed, will update logs tomorrow...

Be good my friends!

How does Cindy Lou feel?

Then I can't say that I do.  Some days are better than others but all days are good for me.  The only real frustration I have is with not enough time in the day.  Between work, taking care of my wife's needs, travel, etc. the day is too short to get in all the training that I would like... And, for that matter, lots of things I like.  But, I don't think I ever feel like Cindy Lou.

I  hope you don't feel that way much either.

I am sorry to hear that... I remember when I had my first full time job and worked until Christmas Eve afternoon.  Somehow it was hard to get excited about it when it just landed upon you and getting ready was so hurried.  But you get used to the speed of life and it can still be filled with the joy of giving and sharing.  You just have to let your frame of mind go there.  Think of it as a game and you win -- The score is "joy of giving" 1 - stress 0.  I have found in life that the only thing that I can actually control is my own attitude.  This is a time of year where you should let yourself enjoy it and don't let school get under your skin.  Once you are done no one asks and no one cares.  In the 28 years since I left school no one has ever asked how I did there -- it only seemed to matter that I got out in one piece.

Keep your head up my friend, tomorrow is a new day and it will be your day!

PS:  I read that you are a senior in Child Psychology.  That must be a challenging course.  I can see why the work could be overwhelming.  I know that course of study is tough but don't let it roll you over.  If it is meant for you, it will get easier.  If it stays a source of great stress, take a look at it.

"Find a job you love and you will never work again for the rest of your life"

Again, good luck my friend.

Pam, 

PPS:  I sent you a story over e-mail that you may enjoy.  It shows the power of kindness.

Love the pink glitter table. Thanks for the update!

Wow Emerson - looking at the pics of the car...and just in shock. As if you need more drama in your life. Of course no-one needs drama...but my thoughts are with you. Sounds like your son-in-law was very lucky. Hope your afternoon was a little more restful! ;o) Hope you had a nice and quiet evening.

Julie

Amy,

Got your question about starting running.  I will give you some good thoughts when I get back from work tonight.  Reality gets in the way of our fun sometimes... Emerson
