Pain And Pleasure Equal Opposites: Day 175

Evolution Two – week thirteen

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Hello Folks,

YES! I am back! I finally made it back from a very interesting vacation! I was recovering from an ankle and back injury and i found out I had an infection and had to go to the dentist ASAP. I am going to need a vacation to recover from my vacation. Somehow I survived and managed to pick up a speeding ticket. If that isn’t a hammer over my head telling me to SLOW DOWN, then I don’t know what is. The Universe has a funny way of sending us messages...whatever happened to a little subtlety, Huh?

Well, not many people GET subtle messages anyway, so why bother, I suppose, just hit us with the big one and be done with it! Now that I am back, my health and immune system seem to be in order again, just in time to go back to work, too. Imagine all those sick days I would have had to waste.

I just had to mention my back at least once, since my back is back to normal, too.

As a tribute to my healing process I have made yet another Youtube video...and I know you just love my long dialogues about what I ate for breakfast, so I thought I would bore you some more with videos of my lovely ankle and all of it s colorful glory!

Feel free to comment on my ridiculously large ankle or my amazing recovery...I like those stories of hope and optimism in the face of hardship and struggle. That’s what life is about anyway, right? A little glory followed by failure or is it hope followed by utter disappointment.

That is why we have hero’s out there doing there best to show us how to unlock “the Secret”...and I do think it is possible to create SOMETHING, despite obstacles that obstruct. The real question is whether to push through, go with the flow or know when to let go...hmmm....that might be why we have psychics out there who can predict things.

Exercise: bike 45 minutes, ankle stretches (it never ends)

Menu: Protein and veggies

Until next time…

Think, Believe, Act, Adjust, Never Give up
