Little bit of wisdom I found today
What you have is made special by what you don’t have. For an experience to be memorable it must be surrounded by moments that are ordinary.
If you were to feast every day there would be no such thing as a feast. The deprivation, the restraint, the empty space, give meaning to the substance, to the abundance.
When you have everything you have nothing. If you cram stuff into every available cubic inch you’ve rendered it all inaccessible.
Allow for plenty of empty spaces between possessions, between experiences, between encounters and relationships. Those empty spaces are where you make meaningful use of all you have.
Live at a scale that enables your interest, your gratitude, your appreciation, and your effectiveness. Keep in mind that too much can be just as undesirable as too little.
Give yourself plenty to care about, but not so much that caring is impossible. Be selective, seek balance, and live well

Your strength is good. I haven't been able to bench in yrs. because of my shoulders. I had a cortisone shot about 4 mo. ago in my rt shoulder and it really helped. Doc said I can have 3 shots 3 mo. apart so I'm going back end of the mo. and I'm gonna have both sides done. One thing I can suggest to keep your shoulders healthy is to stop 2-3" from your chest or use Mark Bell's Slingshot to help take stress off the shoulders.

Do what you intend to do, then go one better. Achieve the goal you’ve set for yourself, then add to it.
Once you are speeding along with the momentum of achievement, don’t let that momentum go to waste. Make more good use of it.
If you’ve already contacted a dozen people, it’s not much more effort to contact one or two more. When you’ve written a thousand words, continue on that established trajectory and write a hundred more.
Usually, the most difficult parts of any task are getting started and getting into the flow. Once you’re there, it makes a lot of sense to keep on going a little longer.
After all, you’ve given yourself the chance to get ahead of the game. Going a little further once you’re ahead is much better than working to catch up after you’ve fallen behind.
When you’ve done what had to be done, don’t stop just yet. Make the most of the opportunity you’ve earned for yourself.

Hold yourself to a high standard. To raise the quality of your reality, raise your expectations.
Refuse to listen to your own excuses. Demand integrity, commitment and persistence from yourself in all your undertakings.
Keep yourself lovingly and gratefully focused on whatever is truly important to you. Let go of any urge to be cynical, and allow your most meaningful dreams to flourish within your awareness.
Get in the habit of finding and expanding what’s best, in yourself, in others, and in each situation. Learn to see the value in moments large and small, and act to make positive use of that value.
Resist the temptation to shortchange yourself or others, or to settle for anything less than your very best. This is your unique and precious life, so give it all the respect and effort it is due.
Fill each day with richness and excellence, competence and solid, honest commitment. Keep your standards high, and seek to live such that you’ll never have any regrets
Thursday

Friday
Yes I am aware this may make me sound like a pussy… wind chill was 30 below today and I worked outside in it all day. The cold really fucks with the arthritis so I am taking a pass tonight. Gonna sit inside maybe start a fire in the fire place. Rent a movie on the web possibly and definitely cuddle with my better half
