I am here.

What can I say ? I've been lax in  my blogging. I have been busy, busy, busy. How many times have you heard that excuse, better yet how many times have you used that excuse. With the holidays coming up it is so easy to fall back on the 'I've been too busy' excuse. What have you been to busy to do ? who have you been to busy to see? It's never easy to look at our faults. This busy excuse thing is rather insulting if you put thought to it. Imagine someone saying "sorry been busy and I couldn't call you'' Why wouldnt they just come out and say "you are not high on my list, too bad, so sad'' *gasp* the horror of it ! Should we feel sorry for the so busy person ? They have been so busy, oh bless their heart poor thing, hasn't had time. Horseshit ! So the next time you are tempted to use the "been so busy'' excuse think about it. What is the real reason. Face up to it....... and don't even tell me you're too damn busy to do so.
Okay onto other rants.... let me see. Oh I finally started TaeKwonDo classes. Decided I wasn't that busy and could fit it in to my 'busy' schedule. I have been putting it for months. I have had all kinds of excuses. And you know what excuses are, obstacles we put in front of ourselves, roadblocks to success. And of course I have to give props to P90X. If I never did it I wouldn't be doing half the things I am doing now. Simply getting out of bed would be painful. Yoga and martial arts are the things that keep our bodies young, durable, flexible. I am planning ahead here with my health. I will do what I can to keep from getting stiff, flabby and rickety.I want to enjoy the next few decades of life to the fullest. I want to walk without a walker, move with ease. I want to breath air without the help of an oxygen tank and a motorized wheelchair. I want to get out of a chair unaided. I want to tie my own shoes and not wear slippers. I want to run. I want to jump. I want to touch my toes. I want to see my kids grow up. I need to set the bar, so they will someday do the same. Good health is something we need to continue to work on. No pills, no doctors visits. No pills. Imagine all the meds that are prescribed suddenly not needing a refill ! No more relying on a pill. The fountain of youth is within our reach. Who is going to drink it in ?
