I will promise you that after a Monsoon season in Southeast Asia that your number 17 is not what you really will want once you do. Until you and everything you own is totally soaked for weeks on end will you understand that unless you can go back to the firehouse and dry out it is not fun. I admire your setting and attaining goals. Have you got to play with your mother's dog yet? What a sweet heart. Need some training like rescue but I guess I did encourage her to be naughty. (The dog not Carol, she's been sick) MUD
I'm 25 and I can't even run 3 miles in a day! I've even had that treadmil for a few days now and haven't used it but once...i have to keep up with you...save for spinning class, that's just CRAZY!!! :P
"Dog's lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illisions we allow ourselves and for the mistakes we make because of those illusions." Dean Koontz The Darkest Evening Of The Year

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson
