Living to the Plus- Thoughts of the Day

 When I was a kid I was always one of the smaller kids or as I am now mid sized. I remember one time I was in kindergarten or first grade and they were building a new building for the preschool. They asked me to come over and test the height of the sink because I was shorter like in the preschoolers. I think with a combination of thinking that I was small and with my Oma and mom still were kind of worriers... I think that influenced me at a young age. This is where my dad comes in. I remember as a kid being deathly afraid of sailing, sometimes my dad would go off roading with a non-offloading vehicle, and going to Cub Scouts. These are some of the things I had fear. I do not remember fighting my dad or my mom to go to these adventures  but I remember when I was at them I had the fear. Fast forward to today I have done some ““ epic things that you would say I have become comfortable being uncomfortable a.k.a. swimming across the lake and 56° water for five hours. I think the re...

  Well with recent events it is in question if we will even have sports to watch anymore. What do yall think? I am not going to get into politics and I know we all like the good-bad stuff when we are watching the game. But would it kill us to try to have more good-good stuff more often? How can we make this easier? Toxins - According the Global Healing Center we are exposed to anywhere between 700,000 to 2,100,000 toxins on a daily basis if we include  the crazy poisons that GMO companies are pumping into the food supply. So given this knowledge, health is defined as the ability to heal, correct? Does it make since that if we are exposed to these toxins every day it could be damaging our cells and the ability to heal? Would it make since that people having more issues with current disease might have weaker cells? Food for thought. Top Three Toxins found in homes today- 1. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)     Risks- Vision and breathing issues, headaches, d...

A Breath of Freedom Today we celebrate our Independence Yet do we breathe free? The Rona can take our breath away How do we breathe? George Floyd- "I Can't breathe" Do we allow breath? We mask and use breath against each other Is our breath ours or "ours"? How often do we actually think about breathing? Do we respect our own breath, others? Do we think of its value and what life without it means? Do we practice breathing outside and in, within? Do we share breath? Do we teach breath? Breathe Deeply! Breathe Free! A Breath of Freedom

How do you feel right now? Do you feel strong, weak, afraid, confused, anxious, like a caged animal, or a animal fighting for survival? I feel like the animal fighting for survival! I feel like my whole life has prepared me for this moment, this crisis, this pandemic. I am not going to get political or anything, but we have royally screwed up! Life= Living + Disease + Sick + Health + Death + Natural Selection = A Stronger Species The US has become weak and needs hardship to become stronger = Facts of Life. We can’t beat nature with idiocy and ignorance. We can reduce our risk and improve our chances by getting strong, getting healthy, getting off our butts, getting out side, planting and growing our own food, eating right, getting active, and helping other to do the same. The shut down made sense at first but we screwed it up. People can’t follow directions. Every day we continue not functioning as a smarter society means more and more serious pro...

You don't know where to go, you don't know who anyone is, you don't know the lingo and you probably have no clue about training or racing. Is this correct?
