It's a new month today! Last month at this time we all made a resolution for a healthier life. Today, many Americans who made this same pledge have already fell off the band wagon.
Today, I would like to ask you...do you ever remember laying the grass as a child and caught yourself starring at the sky filled with clouds. The clouds, in your imagination made all sorts of fun creations from a teddy bear, to trains...the world seemed so big, but the possibilities of your life, seemed endless. Today, I ask you to make a new pledge. Was their something you did as a child, something you loved, but haven't done in a long time? Was their something you dreamed up, but just never got around to doing it? Did you want to go horseback riding? Fly a plane? Heck, how about jump out of a plane? I'm still trying to sit back and think myself of something fun I could dream up and do....but here's what I ask...see if you can accomplish that dream by year end....let me know what your thinking, because I've been thinking all night about what it is that I would want to do...I even asked my husband...he said "how about a marathon", I say "no!"
Here's to your dreams!!!

Wow....I have no clue what to dream about but a nice challenge for something to do! Keep with your dreams......
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could all run a 5 K together after another round of this weight loss competition that is. I know I'm not ready yet, but maybe in 2-3 more months. Who knows?! That would be fun to do together.
ReplyDeleteI remember this weight loss seminar I went to once. And the guy said something along these lines and it has always stuck with me: "I go backpacking through the Rockies and White Water Rafting, I climb mountains, jump out of planes and go scuba diving. Do you know why I do these things? Because I can. Do your friends invite you to go on trips like that? No, because you won't get out of your comfort zone and get in the kind of shape it takes to do these type of activities. When you live a healthier lifestyle, you find yourself surrounded by healthier friends who can do the same things you can. And you challenge one another. So, if your friends are sitting at home eating Ben and Jerry's watching movies, you're probably doing the same thing too. If you want to have friends who climb mountains and go white water rafting, you have to change yourself first."
So, do you guys want to climb mountains with me? 'Cause I'm ready to have those kind of friends too!
