A bit lighthearted note today regarding the long road to Olympic Gold. Not every attempt is a success. Be thankful.
Grateful people are happier, less depressed, less stressed, and more satisfied with their lives. Grateful people also have higher levels of control of their environments, personal growth, purpose in life, and self acceptance. Grateful people have more positive ways of coping with the difficulties they experience in life. The longest lasting effects are caused by the act of writing “gratitude journals” every day, coupled with reviewing what you are grateful for, at the beginning of each day.

GRATITUDE - July 28, 2012
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME TO HAVE NO EXCUSES FOR GETTING IN SHAPE PHYSICALLY.
Hopefully, I have passed the post-retirement phase of naps and nibbling.
I love to cook.
I like to take naps.
I now have more time to do both.
Bad combo.
I have enjoyed the past month of being no-more-work Bob. Enjoyed it too much. I have gained 8 lbs.
More work-outs, more exercise, smaller portions, fewer hours in the kitchen with all the cookbooks and with my kitchen laptop homepage at cooks.com, no post-lunch naps (didn't break free from the post-dinner nap today, however). I did work at Calla Lily Resort (my backyard) most of the day. Sweated off a couple of lbs. Building a new pergola over the back deck in the next week or so. Moved deck furniture, trimmed trees and shrubs, raked leaves, spread redwood bark shreds, planted flowers and plants and discovered my new power nozzle can pop-off at a moment's notice, without warning, and create an instant shower...hot day, so no problem.
Time to get back in shape. Watching the Olympics on T.V. These guys are in shape. That could be me. My daughter snorts at the suggestion. My wife just closes her eyes and smiles. What????
