Living Right



As individuals we decide for ourselves how we live. The choices we make will define us. How we choose to see ourselves and the goals we may set out to achieve will determine in part the person that we become. No matter your station in life, your past or your present situation or condition we each can take postive action to effect positive results in our lives. Living Right is up to you, you define it, you work to achieve it and you live with whatever the results may be. Consider physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fitness should you be of the mind to draft a plan for Living Right. Time managment is a critical factor. You must make the time and fill the time with worthy endeavors aimed at achieving your desired results if you expect to progress.

A Great Seabee Day

It used to be said, "Have a Great Seabee Day!" You would have heard it if you were in the Seabees or around them. Many years after I had served, a good friend of mine suggested that I have a Great Seabee Day in an e-mail message. I had not heard the term for so long I had long forgotten it. I had to ask him why we used to say that and what if any thing did it pertain to, anything special? As it turns out, if you had a weekend coming up, or it was a great day with blue skies and sunshine or you had the anticipation of good times, this was something you might say to a fellow Seabee. I think about this now and then, more often on Friday's...so hey,
HAVE A GREAT SEABEE DAY !

Be An Observer

The Observers
If one can take action to consciously observe more of what goes on around them and in their lives as opposed to constantly making judgements, evaluations and opinions, one will live a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Practice is essential, Patience is called for, Persistence is required.
Consider your life journey as a safari of sorts, lots of new experiences to enjoy and take in. Good times. Enjoy the safari, wherever you go and wherever you are.

In A Dream


In a dream my dear mother appeared, I woke myself up as I spoke to her out loud. It was as vivid and real as could be. My mom passed away just over 2 years ago. There can be no question that her spirit lives on within the lives and personalities of her children. The best parts of me are by way of my mom. Being forthright and straightforward, giving your best, living within ones means and enjoying the simple pleasures of life are among the gifts she gave. The most important part of my mom's life was her children, always. Last night I saw her in a great spirit of joy she appeared momentarily and then she was gone as I woke, the briefest of visits yet unforgettable. Yes, I saw my mom last night in a dream.
Today's Workout:
X85, W30, M

Bike: 60/18+ miles, stationary, steady spinning.
