"DREAM BIG AND DARE TO FAIL"

Conquer mountains tall and oceans deep,
Overcome every hill and dale,
Reach for the stars in the universe,
Dream big and dare to fail.

You're never too old or never to young
To reach places no one else has been,
Do the things that stir your soul,
And keep doing them over again.

Jump off mountains or out of airplanes,
Start living, if you have never fought
To live a life that will stir your heart,
It makes no difference if you succeed or not.

What matters most is the challenge
By doing things that make others pale,
Start doing the deeds that some dare not.
Dream big and dare to fail.

What does it matter if you don't succeed,
It only matters that you feel the pride
Of putting some excitement into your life
And of knowing that at least you tried.

Don't be afraid to to lose or fail,
Just give it all you've got,
You will find your life more rewarding
If in its enthusiasm you get caught.

Aim for those stars high in the sky
And never settle for anything less,
Don't even ask how far they are
And don't even try to guess.

Just reach out as far as you can,
For that is all you need to do
To fulfill all your wishes and dreams,
And to find the real you.
~William C. Glessing,

No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached I've nothing else to offer, so, to you, it's love I'll send. It's nothing that I borrowed and it's nothing that I'd lend. It has no dollar value and it can't be overused. It isn't fragile, so it can't break, though often it's abused. I've given it to others, but each time it's unique. Its meaning's always different; it depends on what you seek. It's something you can store away, to feel when you're in need. But never is it on display, its beauty can't be seen. I'm giving it 'no strings attached,' no costly warranty. This love that I am sending has a lifetime guarantee. Author Unknown

A? for effort???

a night of tossing and turning and at 4 am...caved...got up. Sleepy and hungry I went in to exercise and did a few minutes of weights (arms) and then went to the treadmill for 1/4 mile. Feel like I needed to do more and want to go back and try again...is being tired a good enough excuse to not exercise....I used to think so...but now I know that I will be tired no matter what and the pain (dang ankle) will be there and there will always be an excuse not to exercise....I am looking for excuses to FOLLOW THROUGH and keep moving and stop giving in to the little voices in my head they say it is ok to give into all of them. I am thinking about what goals I want to accomplish next summer and they all revolve around being able to hike and ride bikes and walk and run.....so I have to work through these pains and tired moments because when "race day" comes I might have to push through tired or pains....I am learning that all these feelings are a good thing...God gave them all to us

Disappointment and Frustration

Many of us, whether we are conscious of it or not, create much of the unhappiness we experience. Our disappointments are the result of our own negative or limited thoughts about ourselves and our world. What are some of those limiting thoughts, those subconscious beliefs, which keep us from experiencing joy and wholeness? One of those beliefs is that we cannot be fulfilled unless we are loved and accepted by those who are the victims of our past experiences, that we are too old or too set in our ways to change. Still another false idea is, "It's a catastrophe if things don't go my way!" Then, too, there's the self-defeating attitude that to love is to lose, so "I'd better prepare for the worst to happen because it will." Two more irrational beliefs are, "I have no control over my happiness and I want life to be easy and without hassles; therefore, I'll avoid discomfort or any new commitments." TODAY I will see each disappointment in my
