The best laid plans of mice and men........

How many times have I committed to do something for myself, only to end up missing the mark and disappointing myself... Well the truthful answer to that is more often than not. So once again, here I am trying to make sense of why I am not where I want to be.... with my weight, my finances and so on. The energy I consume worrying about doing something is far more that it would take for me to do the things I need to do for myself.  I guess the key word is myself.  It's just so easy to disappoint myself instead of disappointing others. That is is the real root of the problem I suppose...or maybe we could just call it being human. Wanting to be better at living our lives is the nature of the beast, and every so often we succeed which allows us to continue. Some of us are further along in our journey and our successes are closer together, and our disappointments further away........and then there are the rest of us that still have a ways to go. Be patient and pray for us, and hopefully we will keep getting a little better every day..Here's to hoping,as long as were trying the odds are in our favor!

Wow, where have I been?

I have not blogged since June 12th, and it feels like it was just a three days ago.  Its funny how time can pass and we do not have a real prospective on how long it been.  Especially when it is in relation to doing things we are not obligated to do in our jobs or immediate family relationships. I want to blog and I want to visit my extended family, but these wants always get pushed to the back of the obligations I have and often times it ends up being a shock when I stop and realize how long it has been. The real question that we face is how do we manage our lives, our obligations, and the things that we need and want so that nothing suffers.  I am not sure that this question will ever be answered with a solution that makes it all possible. One of the biggest problems of the human race, we have minds that allow us to explore vast amounts of information, have contact with many people and to have dreams and desires that are vast. On the other hand, our bodies and physical stamina only allow us to go so far before it stops us in our tracks. The old saying You can please most of the people some of the time. Some of the people most of the time, but none of the people all of the time and that includes ourselves.  We just need to work on being happier with what we can do, and know that most of the things that we feel like we need to do in order to keep the world rotating on its axis do not carry the weight we think they do. Everyone will be o.k. as long as we treat people the way we want to be treated,clean up after ourselves, and help take care of people that can't take care of themselves!

Holy Cow! oops Elephant!
