DESIRE - DETERMINATION - DISCIPLINE

So the last 2 months have been really enlightening and I feel that there is a higher power pushing me in a new direction in life. Maybe 10 years ago just wasn't the right time, but now there seems to be an aura I'm exuding that is drawing people to me, and they are looking for fitness advice from me?!?

I have near strangers randomly asking me for fitness advice! Now I know I'm not in the "shape" that I should be, but apparently I'm camouflaging that well because I had a random co-worker email me yesterday - here are her exact words... "you need to give me some workout tips! You are in FABULOUS shape, and I’ve lost about 34lbs but now I’m all saggy :-( so I need all the help that I can get! LOL!"
Strangely most women don't realize how important weight training and lean muscle mass are to overall health. I love being strong and shapely, and being able to show off my beautiful triceps is always pleasing. I'm just genetically gifted with great legs and a butt (didn't get the natural breasts, but those are easy enough to buy) so at least I have that going for me since I have a love/hate relationship with leg training.

So as I thought about my grandmother's life and passing this morning, it made me think about how I only get to live this day ONE time and there are no do-overs! I need, wait... HAVE to be living my dream every day! Is living my dream working for someone else? Is it hand-holding a bunch of employees who have this unbelievable sense of self-entitlement with horrible work ethic that continually think that the government owes them? Now don't get me wrong because I do have wonderful friendships with the very best the government employs (Carrie, Jolanta, Mike, Janis, Addam, Nina, Stephanie - you guys keep me sane everyday and offer many laughs)! I want to do good things in life, positive things, and what I'm doing now just isn't it, BUT I'll keep it for now because I am lucky to have my job and I do love working for TSA.

I'm spending the rest of the day contemplating just what it is I want to be doing in a year. I have a basic concept but I'll share that another day. So planning, writing goals and timelines are now in motion, and I'm living only for today and only for this moment! As I write to you I sip my green tea and chew on my oatmeal... if only I were watching the sunrise in the window... Alright, anyway. I'M GONNA DO THIS!
