A Little Inspiration
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

A Beautiful Day In Southern California

Finally, we had a beautiful weekend here in California, sunny, hot and 80 degrees. I love Santa Ana's, especially when a few days ago there was frost on the ground early in the morning. I got up early this morning and went for a run. The tide was up to high so I couldn't run on the beach. I feel for all my family and friends on the East coast, it is so cold. Bummer for you, you all need to come visit.

Sad Realization

This morning as Wyatt and I were driving to school I realized the we only had a few months of having our mornings in the car together. I love our talks and listening to his iPod and his music. We have driven to school and work together since he was in kindergarten, next year when he goes to high school I will be staying at my school. . .or do I I could follow him as a matter of fact I could follow him all the way through college. No just kidding I love my job and he needs his own thing, I am just going to miss our mornings together.

Back on the Band wagon

Tomorrow I get back on the band wagon. I have had two weeks of eating, drinking and not working out like I should. I am going to get up at 5:00 am and hit the gym.I gave myself a 2 week five pond leeway and stayed within it but now I still want to get those last 25 lbs off. I have given myself until my birthday to do it, I know it will be harder than the first 50. I am super disciplined and can do it!

Wyatt's Day Snowboarding

Wyatt got up early and left with some friends to go snowboarding. I haven't heard from him so I know he is having a great time. I will post pictures when he gets back.

Welcome 2009!

Well my New Years Eve plans changed and I didn't get to do what I wanted but I still have an awesome time. I got to hang out with my kid and his friend, yes it is cool that they still want to hang out with me and I will enjoy every minute of it, I am sure it won't be long before they decide not to. The evening first started off with a dinner trip to get Fish Tacos, then to the store to stock up on junk food. The kids were racing to see who could be first to do everything in 2009. It was great all the calls and text I recieved wishing me a Happy New Year, I have such amazing friends.
