Its Saturday July 12, 2014 and man have I been busy. I got up around 5:30 AM and got had my first cup of coffee to get me going and out the door. I was running a little earlier so I started my run at 6:45 AM. My run today was great, 6 miles of bliss, not my fastest but the weather was just perfect and I enjoyed every minute.
After the run we went for coffee and I ordered an extra coffee to take home for a little extra fuel for all my Saturday projects that I had lined up.
Do you have pets? If you don’t and want to keep busy on Saturdays you may want to get a few. We have 2 Labrador Retrievers, 2 cats who are sisters and roam all around the house and two cats that just kinda hang out downstairs. In addition, like that’s not enough we have 3 hermit crabs, a beta fish and Velvet our resident overly enthusiastic middle of the night wheel running hamster.
My mission is today has been to make sure that everyone is happy and healthy, between a cage cleaning for Velvet, water changing for the beta fish and other general upkeep I am not surprised that it is already 2:30 in the afternoon, this day is flying by fast.
Now its time to get outside and start to work on my afternoon projects, I am going to trim the trees and bushes in front of my house and give the grass a quick once over even though I don’t really think it needs cut yet, but I will make it look nice.
Sometimes I wonder where I get all this energy to do all these projects, I don’t think I would have half this energy if it were not for trying to live healthy, being a runner and lots of coffee.

Time to get busy. Have a great day!

If you don’t fall down you cant get up. Anything worthwhile takes time and effort to get better. Think of Thomas Edison who failed time after time until he finally created the light bulb. I am personally grateful that he did not give up. Just think, you may be just at the point of a breakthrough, if you are working on a worthwhile project keep going and don’t give up. The great things happen when you just keep moving.

“You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!” Rocky

How did you use your time today? Did you use your time to do what you love? Did you use your time to achieve your dreams? Do you still have dreams? I know when I was a kid I dreamed that I could do anything, somewhere those dreams got sidetracked. Now I have resurrected those dreams, I am looking at my life and what I want to achieve and am surrounding myself with people that can contribute to my growth and my dreams. I am surrounding myself with people that think like me and want to dream like me. I am going to challenge myself to get better and better everyday. I feel like I am back on the right track.

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” TE. Lawrence

Hey, whats up?
This is my first blog post and I am just going to let it rip. Today is Sunday June 8, 2014 and its about 1:00 PM in the afternoon and I am feeling great. I just want to let the world know that I am here and ready to start posting some awesome content to my website. Anyway my name is Howard and I have been on the net since about 1996 when it was the world according to dial up, oh what fun those days were waiting for a web page to load. I remember all the stuff, bulletin boards AOL, ICQ and Hotmail. Time has gone so fast it seems like yesterday. Is time going fast for you too? Now fast forward to 2014 wow so much has changed, now we have twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep us occupied. The question I have to ask myself is, how am I using all of this awesome technology to make my life great today? Well the first step is this website and this post to let the world know that I am here and ready to blog.
Today, right here and right now I am taking action. I could have put off blogging today, I can say I am not ready, I am not in the right mindset or a hundred other reasons why I could not post here and get this website off the ground. It feels great to take action to get moving and get the creativity flowing. I have greatness within me and I am ready to let it out. So what can you do today? You can do anything!
I set a goal today that I am going to get out on my bike and go ride at 3:00, I could make up a bunch of excuses why I cant go out to ride today, hum lets see, here are a few: it may rain, Sundays were meant to stay at home, I need some rest, I can get a few things done around the house, I could do some cleaning, cooking, organizing, you name it I could name tons of things that will keep me from doing what I want to do and that is ride my bike. Well here is the fact, listen very closely because this is my pearl of wisdom for the day, ready? Here we go…. I, am the boss of me. There you go, I am the boss of me. Whats that mean? Well I guess if I am the boss of me, you are the boss of you. So get going and do something you want to do today and oh by the way, Live your great life today!
