Ready for a break!

I'm so ready for a much needed break.  Starting Friday August 1, 2014  NO FACEBOOK for a month.  I'm probably going to skip watching any news programs as well.  It seems like everyday, every minute, every second is marred by tragedy.  Guess what people, it's always been that way.  Since the beginning of time, SHIT happens.  But in today's time, everything is BREAKING NEWS.  Watching everyone post depressing and horrifying news links has started taking it's toll. 

     "Like this picture to show you don't support spousal abuse"  "Look at this dog, his fur gone because his owners tied him to a tree and didn't feed him for weeks".... I could go on, but I know you have all seen it.

I don't know about you guys, but life for me is pretty ok.  I mean, things aren't perfect, but I've been blessed beyond measure.  If I sat and focused on all the shit, life would become horrible really quickly.  I've been learning lately, that I can't live my life for anyone other than myself.  The way I react or don't react, is totally up to me.  I'll be honest, I don't like conflict, but for years instigated my fair share of turmoil.  Now, I would rather avoid the things that make me sad or unhappy.

I'm tired of waking up and the first thing I hear is bad news.  Since I know this, I will just quit listening to the news. Unless of course it's from Gary Gnu

New Direction

Hello all.  It has been a couple of months since my last post.  I've been busy in the gym, at the office and not much else.

More frequent posts are on the horizon, as I venture into a new phase of life.  My shoulder is healing nicely and I'm in the gym more and more.  I've signed up for my first competition in 3 weeks.  I'm really excited to do something competitive again.

I'll post recipes, exercise tips, struggles, personal records... whatever happens for the week, I'll fill you in.  Everyday can't be a PR kind of day.  I want to encourage people to never give up.  You are never too old, too young, too anything.  Do things that make you happy, find people who encourage that and live your life. 

Peace out for now......
