snow men

Watch out for snow men

The weather has been pretty mild, but the snow has been rather wild.

Yesterday i spent the whole afternoon, making snow men, throwing snowballs at my friends and  sliding down the hill on a rather funny pull cart.

I must admit it was great fun, good exercise and a lot of laughter, too many awkward crushes, almost like Americas funniest home videos, but funnier.

Don't let the winter snow lower your spirits, get out there and have some fun!

Are you driven

A couple of days ago i posted a question "what inspires you?"

What floats your boat, what keeps you from falling, what keeps you afloat?

My family is certainly my first inspiration, they look up to me believe in me and i guess that is a damn good enough reason to keep from falling.  I get inspiration from; meditation, books, the media, through other peoples life experiences.  When i feel really sorry for myself, i just read the newspaper and that alone is enough kick in the butt, many people are having a far worse time than I am.

My training regime is of course my life jacket, it keeps me afloat on those days when everything seems impossible, running in the cold air simply liberates my soul, i decide on the distance and strive to make it, i cut all the crap and run to my goal, when i am done, tired, sweaty and exhausted i still take pride in the fact that " i did not give up,I did it! I am a super hero!"
