Thank to all of the men and women who have so bravely served our country.
On this Veteran’s Day, we ask you to take a few moments to remember those who sacrificed their lives and selflessly served to achieve peace and democracy.
Thank you friends … YOU will not be forgotten.

My body sucks. I exercise religiously, diet, binge, read all the mind numbing blogs and magazines. Yet I still feel inferior to others (Gals and Dudes are equally guilty).
“I just wish I could stop beating myself up all the time over petty, little things … That’s it I quit! ”
Like it or not all of us React to adversity and troubling times when we should be Refocusing.
We could not possibly leave you in such a depressed state on a lovely Friday morning could we?!? What follows could be called advice, by some. Others may call our kind words unwarranted and self-righteous, either way we are all adults here and we can form our own decisions …
Are you a quitter? Do you find yourself tossing in the towel daily? Here’s the lowdown peeps: Quitters blame those around them and the world for their disappointments. YOU are not a quitter!
Less time Reacting and more time Refocusing.
The Plan-

We are in such poor shape, feeding on ourselves day in and day out. So much so that we are too worn out to do anything about it. Doing nothing does not help either … Fantastic!!! We are trapped in a vicious cycle.
“I’ve lost complete interest in the simple things I once enjoyed.”
“I have little hope of making it through this day.”
Take a deep breath, Walk with us …
Clear your cluttered mind and consider your situation: Today has been a struggle, let’s continue to simply put one foot in front of the other … Building momentum and slowly regaining the energy we have been lacking to get by.

The Workout-
Man Makers of the KB Variety
Pick a nice, challenging weight and keep going for 5 complete sets. If you have to break up the set of 5? You incur a penalty of 20 Perfect Push Ups … We don’t recommend breaking up the sets!
Notes:
Balance. Nifty word isn’t it?!? Does the top of the post make sense at all? Here’s the answer you are looking for: We (you reading in the car as well) have a nasty habit of doing nothing … and then doing way too much. Fourteen words for you to think about … ENJOY!!!

In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present-
BREAKING NEWS: Welcome to the one spot on the Inter-Webz where you WILL NOT find bloviated and self-serving “Merican presidential coverage. If that is your “thing” today? We’re pretty sure someone out there is Pinning and Tweeting something about it …
Quick show of hands: Are you currently experiencing a “perception” problem in your life? A quick, simple and pain-free adjustment in our own thoughts and behavior will shed light and lend meaning to seeing yourself in a whole new way.
An item we talk quite often about is not taking care of our MINDS and BODIES with regular exercise and a healthy dose of mindfulness and meditation. When we neglect these items the cumulative effect often leads to feeling down about the way we look. Now the simple part: Getting up early to Workout, choosing a carrot, apples and a sandwich over Chick–fil-A for lunch … The simple “things” we do provide an instant boost to our self-image.
Simple stuff peeps, so simple in fact that you forgot what you just read above!
