Topic: RE: Law of the garbage truck.
Oh boy did I need this today. It is so easy to be a trash truck esp. when I've had trash dumped on me. Thanks for this great reminder and challenge.

Topic: Law of the garbage truck.
Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?
This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so ... Love the people who treat you RIGHT, and Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it
and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Topic: RE: What are your goals for Oct/Nov?
Molly, I think we are thinking alot alike for our goals
My goals for October/November:
1. As soon as I get clearance from having my gallbladder out start my exercise routines up again
2 .More prepared meals and less processed junk. I need to plan and not graze
3. Set a bedtime and stick to it
4. By doing #3 I can spend more time with my morning bible reading and devotionals and less time hitting the snooze
5. Water,Water, Water

Topic: It's What I do!!
Taking time for ourselves is sometimes difficult for us to do. Every now and again we need to be reminded of how important this can be.
Here are a few lines from an article in last year's OH Magazine by Connie Stapleton, Phd
Make a chart of the essentials for success. Complete it daily and reward yourself (not with food) each day that you complete every goal.
Take your calendar and mark off time each day for the essentials.
Develop the mantra; "It's What I Do"
When you don't feel like exercising remind yourself: "It's What I Do"... then do it!
When you don't want to pass up dessert, remind yourself: "It's What I Do"... then pass it up!
When you feel too tired to write in your food and exercise journals, remind yourself: "It's What I Do"... then do it!
Think like a thin person.
Remind yourself: "If I want long-term success, I make the time."
There are no "good excuses" for not taking time to choose healthy behaviors.
Be a friend yourself.
The time you take to do the essentials for long-term success leads to your health and happiness.

Topic: RE: Week of 10-3-/ How are we going to move our bodies this week?
10-7-10
Thursday was another great w/o day. My gym partner and I are getting stronger each week.
We have been able to increase the weights we are lifting. It really feels good.
For Friday, It will be only cardio treadmill, maybe the bike and it will be a short workout day.
Today is 5th day of workouts. I met my goal this week.
How about you? Have a good long weekend. I will see you guys on Tuesday 10.12-10.
