Quest for the good life . . .

What is the "Good Life"?  there you go, a short blog . . . help me think it through . . . I will add some of my own thoughts along the way . . .peace

May Day . . .

So today was the first day of May. I am in Pontiac Michigan for the evening. I can not sleep, so here I am on the net at the hotel. I was able to officiate the a wedding for some friends from church. We had a great time. The wedding was good, the fellowship was good, the food was good. The wedding was held at the Lafayette Grande in Pontiac. I guess this place was built some time in the 1920's and was originally a Masonic Temple.

I am so thankful to be able to be part of folks lives along the way. It is amazing to walk through life with other folks. The challenge becomes how do I interact with my wife and kids the way I am able to work with others. I have so much to learn. I want to be a better husband and a much better dad. I am so thankful for my family. Well, that is enough for today which is actually tomorrow. Have fun. Peace

BMW dreaming on a TATA nano budget . . .

Here I am at school today . . . fourth block, a few moments away from going to the gym. Thinking about life a little. I dream of one day owning a BMW. I had the joy of test driving a BMW 530 this past weekend. I also bought my birthday gift - a key ring from BMW. It is nice and I hold my work keys on it. Now on to the real thoughts for the day . . .
Do not create debt . . . no matter what . . . fight hard to pay for things as you go . . . and do not go into health debt either, it is hard work to get out from under the weight.  It seems like I am hyper focused on my weight . . . however it is not the weight I am looking at as much as the road I am currently on in my attempts to downsize.  I know I am on the long road of recovery, and that I accept.  It is a daily reminder to remain on this narrow road.  I must remind myself of the goal that lays ahead, and continue to push towards that goal.  both deal with debt in my life . . . freeing myself from the slaver of financial debt as well as freedom from the weight that holds me down and back.  Well, enough of a rant for today . . . enjoy the moment . . . peace 

Here we are . . .

Here we are . . . Still above 300 lbs, but not by much. I can not believe I have been so out of it this past few weeks. Back to the Gym on monday, and feeling good about that. I want to be below 300 never to look back. I am feeling better from my sickness, still a little weak, but better. I am thankful to be back at school and with the students. Diana and I start facilitating a class tonight at church. I am excited about this opportunity. I got a i touch, and I can download some cool Podcasts. I am thankful to be able to think, and blog. I will write more soon. Peace

On sickness . . .

I hate being sick . . . let me be one of those ones that holler out the obvious . . . I know no one likes to be sick, but I really hate it. I hate the seclusion - me without people is not good. I need folks in my life . . . being a people persons in seclusion is like taking a fish out of water . . . I am finally feeling a little better and for that I am thankful . . . I want to talk to you . . . send me a note or something . . . peace
