Everything one-armed

Being Angry

Being angry is neither productive or healthy. But I am so mad today over an on-going "problem"
The "problem" is... I don't know what the "problem" is.
The one who frustrates me is also the one in the past has given me healthy and productive advice like this.

“Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile and put soul into every handclasp.
Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies.
Try to fix firmly in your mind that which you would like to do and then without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do and then as the days go gliding by, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunity that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes form the running tide the element it needs.
Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual.
Thought is supreme.
Preserve a right mental attitude - the attitude of courage, frankness and good cheer.
To think rightly is to create.
All things come through desire and every sincere prayer is answered.
We become like that on which our hearts are fixed.
Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high.
We are gods in Chrysalis.”
- Elbert Hubbard

What a day for a day dream...

Todays jog was a winter wonderland. BIG, soft, snowflakes all around me. It was magical.
2 miles seemed hard the first mile but then my legs loosened up the second half for an enjoyable lunchtime jog.

Excel

Excel 2010 is sponsored by Youth for Christ and this weekend it is for High School Students and their leaders. There is different classes that go on for two days and during the breaks they have bands and speakers. Today Darrel Scott, father of Racheal Scott who was shot in during the Columbine attack 10 years ago got up and talked about her essays and diaries she wrote and how she wanted to make a "chain reaction of kindness and compassion." She wanted to touch millions of people......... and she did! Her father has now been all over the world telling of her stories and thousands have now come to know Christ, not because of her preaching but because of her example. The auditorium was in awe of Racheal's love for others.

Unmistakable love. Love is beyond words. Love is deep. Love is unmistakable.

Let's spread it!

Right now I'm eating lunch in the lounge and one of the students is playing his guitar and I wish so much I mastered playing and singing. I LOVE signing. I LOVE playing the guitar...but I don't think that is one of my gifts. :)
Last year I said I would be playing this year, here with these young adults....but injury has my arm at rest.

I'm sure God as something else in mind for me...why he doesn't want me lifting weights.... playing with all the new toys I have at home or.......playing the guitar.

In due time I will find my path and I will bloom. I will fly like an eagle.

How Can..

How can something that feels so right be so wrong?

How can a feeling so strong and so deep.... be denied?

A plumber?

I knew I was starting a new life.... but as a plumber???


Well not totally... maybe I could be called a plumbers' apprentice. I knew somethings and learned some new from this guy. Glen Hewitt.


I don't think this is for me...... This is how I looked and felt after almost 3 hours of climbing under cabinets, cutting pipe, cleaning up a kitchen from water damage, moving things PICKING UP THINGS! (that was a big no no)
I am still only 27 days out of rotator cuff surgery and today took a toll on me. A BIG ONE!
Therapist knew I had done too much today. My arm was sore and TIGHT. I'm beat.

Can't believe I'm actually showing this.
