Hey Shredders,
all in all it was a better day today.
I did as usual every day 100 push ups, trained (ran outdoors) with the magic CARDIOCOACH 7 program, it literally boosted me over the running-track and I felt very energised because of the fantastic tunes and rhythms. I SIMPLY LOVE IT!!!!
Sean (Mr. Cardiocoach himself) has a great way to motivate me, his voice is perfect for an audio-program like this and he doesn't talk too much. Perfect thing for me an I will look on his homepage to sniff around what else he can offer, www.cardiocoach.com.
Furthermore: I received today an email from someone in Uruguay and would like to share it with you. Sorry, this email is quit long but it made me think, especially in insecure days like this:
"Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolf hound
named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were
all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do
anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog
in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for
six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn
something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.
Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he
understood what wa s going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.
We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.'
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The Six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.'
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy..
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!"
Here are the statistics:
Take massive action, I will be back tomorrow.
