I read somewhere once that happy people measure themselves by their progress. So as long as they are making continual improvements they are continually happy.  On the other hand, unhappy people  measure themselves against the ideal. In this case they always fall short, because in reality the ideal is a concept and not a tangible thing that actually exists.

So in other words.. you can chase rainbows and sunsets and never catch them but instead of focusing on where you aren't...  you focus on where you are and enjoy that.

That's what I choose to do today. I choose to focus on where I am.  I am happy.

An MRI confirmed what the ER doc had already told me... torn calf and 4-6 weeks to heal. Appointment with an orthpedic doctor and a prescription of physical therapy.

Over the weekend I was mulling over in my mind how I can come out of this looking and smelling like a champ rather than a chump. Truth is: I am chump all the way.

I have decided to withdraw from the... read more 4 comments

I stole that saying from somewhere. It's true.

In life there are negatives and positives. Always and with everything. It is our choice with everything to decide how we want to live. In this sense we become the creators of our reality.

That is why with this prep...  I can only see good. I can only see benefit. There are negatives of course and I could make a laundry list for you. However, why would I want to? If I did that, I would be missing out on the even longer laundry list of positives.
