Introduction Text I lost 140 pounds, and found more than half of them again! I want to get healthy and fit, and decided to start here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." ~Earl Nightingale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." --- Mother Theresa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." ---Ralph Waldo Emerson

One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about the eternal battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My boy, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.” “One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.” “The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, tolerance, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.” The boy thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”

Add a Link God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. Grief is the price we all pay for love. In memory of all those we have lost and still treasure!
