If I had 1 wish...ok maybe 12!

Today was a hard day, one I new would come and will be followed by meny more just like it, it started of great, up early with the sun, lazed around in bed until 9 and then sprang up to injoy my day off, so I grabed my two dogs and headed to the lake for a walk, we had a great walk! it was beautiful, sunny and just a little crisp, the smell of damp earth and the wide open yander just calling us...we worked hard, made a little swet pour, not much but just enough and when we got back to the car, about an hour and a half after we had left it, and we got in I looked at my reflection, and thought, it was the same me as when I got out, and this is not the first time this has happend, every time I go to the gym or eat "right" for a week, I still see the same me, so when I was sitting there today looking at my self, I thought, If I had one wish, it would be that I would see all this hard work paying off....instantly !(ok that probably wouldent be my 1 wish, but it would be in the 10 ten) How on earth am I suppoed to keep on with all this if it dosent even look like anything is happening? Any way the rest of the day was followed by me avoiding seeing myself in any way, and came down to just comeing home, its sad and it sucks, I really really hope this hard work starts to show its self cuz I hurt all over and I need to know that its worth the pain! well thats it for my little rant, a small bump in my road!

I dont know If I have ever taken the time out to tell you about my crazy cuz! well I have two but the one I am going to tell you about is 16 years old and has been playing LACCROSS, since he could walk, now he is a goalie and is playing with guys that are 2-3 years older than he is, ( if you dont know sports, thats a big deal!) and is wowing even the tuffest critics, hes amazing, last summer he was chosen to play for the island team for the BC Summer games, and not only did he lead the games is most goals saved but they won the gold medal, but remaind undefeted after 8 games! AMAZING! ok so lets get to the point of all of this, he has come to point were he is waiting to be drafted, now normaly you would have to wait till you were 18 or 19 to be drafted and legaly he cant play with the team that drafts him for two more years, but he is in such hight demand that he has 3 teams that want to sign him now so that he doset get lost to some other team in the mean time! Its only 6 days till we find out who have won the draft pic, we are all sitting on pins and needles waiting for the out come, his brother and I have offerd to move to were ever her gets drafted to so he has a place to stay during the season, but we are all hoping that he get to stay and play for the shamrocks!

Good luck Scottie!

The Boys After the won The Gold!

A New Day...

Today is a new day, well thats the way I am trying to look at it anyway, turning my back on the past and looking forweard with a new zest and a little ambition. my goal is to make this the best year ever, now that january is gone and I feel like the year is well under way, its time to get things going, and going I am...all the way to Palm springs...YA HOOO! some time a way to refresh and renew! I have set my sights hight for this year and a trip is just the start, I have commited to doing the TC10K again and plan on doing bettter than I did last year! I am also going to do the 24 hour relay and the to it for Dad 8k, all part of my new heathly & happy living plan. thanks to Paola who dragges me out to the gym on the days when I dont really want to go, but know I should, and for keeping my coumpany when I feel like I could stay there all day, man it feels good to swet! anyway, moving on, I have decided to take this year by the horns and tell it whos boss, I am going to live for me and not for everyone elts, this year is about getting healthy and loving ME! ok so this may sound a little self absourbed but really I think you know what I mean, I usualy spend most of my time worrying about everyone elts and then I think oh ya, what about me, everyone elts is happy and I am falling appart, so now that is going to change, I know god has a plan for me and I think I am ready to pour everything into him and I and take care of what has been left to wither, I dont imagine this is going to be an easy year but its going to be worth it!
