To complain is to fail

Victor Frankl quote

Dear runner with lofty dreams, very sorry to hear about the recent injury (still undiagnosed) that has prevented you from maximizing your training in the final month leading up to the 2015 Masters Track & Field National Championships.

Here’s God’s advice:

Get over it.

To complain is to fail.

Count your blessings.

There are many.

By the time you finish thinking about all of them, your injury will be healed and there will be another race to run.

You’re welcome.

i am a wretch

Nature trail
From a Florida Zoo, mercy and kindness extended to a tree.

 

i am a wretch.

Even though i thought i was ‘good’.

So on April Fool’s Day 2009 i began the day on my knees, saying three special prayers.

  1. The Lord’s Prayer
  2. Hail Mary
  3. A special prayer i created as an extension of “saying Grace”

This is, coincidently, the same day i began the 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

Same result too.

Haven’t missed a single day.

Ever.

This train of thought continues with “i felt i deserved a raise at work” at the next Blog

Ocean front dining can be spiritual

Ft Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach
Last night.

 

Ocean front dining can be spiritual.

Anywhere, dining can be spiritual.

But do we consciously believe and act on this?

Think about it.

Seems we only get to that spiritual dining when the view is stunning.

A great reminder to not wait for ‘special’ views.

Difficult in a busy world.

Keep the medals

Central Florid Gliders 2015 Masters Track results

Central Florid Gliders 2015 Masters Track results
Goal was to run 2:40.

 

Keep the medals. Don’t be fooled by two 55-59 age group silver medals. There were only two competitors in the age group. Call it like it is. i was last. Twice.

Never collect any medals ‘won’.

Why would i?

The real victory is simply in honoring the temple that keeps us alive.

God provides this miraculous vessel.

To dishonor it with neglect feels evil and selfish.
