I've always enjoyed it .   Always considered myself a content, happy person.   I believe for most of my life that I've been happier than most; at least if measured outwardly .   I remember back in my military days, a supervisor in the USAF actually cornered me and told me he thought I was  full of BS.   Nobody is this happy every day he told me.   That one still makes me shake my head; w ondered how many others shared that opinion. My whole life I've been aware that many people go through life without smiling.   Without laughter. Without truly enjoying each day. I've keyed on it for some reason.   I used to go out of my way to change the environment attempting to bring smiles and joy to the moments.   Somehow , I felt this was my mission.   Somewhere along the way I grew wary of it and minimized that behavior, but it's still there in me. Whether it be while traveling in a vehicle, or at an airport , or a mall, I've always ...

Got on the scale today and good news. After traveling last week and sippn' some good stuff over the weekend, came in a pound lower for my Monday morning weigh in Got several workouts in and only one day of cardio. Definitely made me appreciate having my own gym! Workout today/tomorrow and out of town for a few days visiting mom. Had hoped to juice it this week but it'll have to wait until I return. Bringing my gear in search of a local gym though!

I've been there lately ..  My mom is going through some serious health issues currently.  My wife recently had surgery, making our bed her favorite location for six weeks.  It sucks . You're miserable.  And the best sometimes comes out of others because of it. I remember when I lost a friend to Cancer about 10 years ago.  I rarely visited him or went out of my way to stop in.  In all fairness we weren't that tight, but that wasn't the issue. I was uncomfortable with the situation.  After he passed away, I have to admit it bothered me I didn't stop in and see him more. Guilt set in.   When I lost my older sister to Cancer , I went through the same guilt pattern; why didn't' I go to Mississippi more often to visit?   Of course I did visit ( never often enough ) , but also didn't realize we'd lose her as soon as we did.  Now I'm dealing with something similar with my mom.  I'm on a business trip as I type this, back in 2 days,...
