What to say, what to say

I really needed the week off for a lot of reasons. I didn't get to all of the things or people I wanted to but I did get a lot of stuff done. And I got to spend some time with myself, which I also needed. Sometimes I don't like spending too much time in my own head but as someone who analyzes pretty much every emotion and reaction she has, it ( Read more... )

Do more things that mean something. And, no, I can't define it better than that. I took steps that way in 2010 but I haven't quite gotten there yet. Help create, create, support, change lives.

That's one of the loveliest and well-phrased way of saying/pursuing those ambitions that I've seen put down. <3

Thanks. I keep on thinking that I can do more to change the world - not in big ways but in little ways. And, yeah, my ways of changing the world aren't going to be what everyone would choose or expect but that's all the more reason for them to get out there too.

You've got the awesome to keep moving forward. I know we've never hung out much, but I've got an open door and a pile of tea if you ever want to brainstorm on the path to doing more than resonates, that means something. Sometimes it's easier to sound it out.

I too have these things and I like hanging out. What days are better for you?

I typically am good any day but Wednesdays (usually have a F2F for that day for one of my freelance contracts.) Otherwise my schedule is pretty open.

can I steal your resolutions? Oh, and I thought the college funds had to oopned by your own kin?

weightloss and excercise are hard to evaluate when you can't stay out of your own head, what works for me has been:
get a trial membership at someplace and get a full eval, staple it to my most recent physical and after sticking it in an envelope give it to a friend with the instructions to hand it back in SIX MONTHS - grab another free member ship at that time and compare results.

No. College funds do not have to be opened by your own kin. There are options for 'friend' to do so as well. I know, cause I just did it.

Hrmmmm. Not a bad idea. Could go get a physical too, though that would be doctors and that sucks just as much if not more than the gym.

And they're not really resolutions as much as 'what I need to do now'.

well, damn. That sure is useful, so extended friends and family can get one up and running and keep it on the low-low. The only thing cooler than having a free ride is when it's a surprise.

Having the trainer and a doc check you out gives oyu a LIST of metrics so you have manyhtings to see improvement on. Most of those additional metrics are like peak blood pressure, heart rate during moderate exertion etc... ones that improve early before more blatant ones ... I know it helps me keep involved when I know that even though I still get tired after X miles walk I did it in 3 minutes less time and my beats per minute are 10 percent lower.... I might not have lost weight and that spot in my left back might still hurt like a bitch but hey, I was only superman 7 yrs.
