Tragedy or Triumph?

Driving in to work this morning and listening to all the ceremonies going on today brought back a flood of memories of September 11, 2001 and I am sure it does for almost everyone in this country. It's hard to believe it's been eight years. I am always grateful everyday and thank GOD for waking me up another day and I am joyful that I am happy and healthy because there are so many people that can't say that. Then I wonder how many people are standing in their own way. You never know if today will be your last day so live life as if it will be! I know I have days when I am down or feel like the world is coming to an end over the most petty of incidents and then I have to stop and think wow, I have my mind, my health and people who care about me so NOTHING it that bad! There are so many things in the world we can't control but I tell you one thing the things I can control I go out of my way to shape it, form it, and make it what I want it to be. It's the same thing with health and fitness. If the only thing standing in your way is you, get out of the way! If you are fortunate to be an able-bodied person and still come up with excuse after excuse why you can seem to "Get into" exercising or would rather make a drive-thru run verses stopping at the grocery store and picking up fresh vegetables that you can steam at home in a microwave in 2 minutes stop and ask yourself if you're worth the time. I know I am. It's the least you can do for yourself and your family is to be a healthy you.
