what a fabulous day! It's near noon and only 76 degrees - in August! Yay! I ran twelve miles this morning in preparation for half marathon I will be doing in the beginning of November. Guess I'm ready! I just like to run.
Now, after enjoying a smoothie I will walk to get salad fix'ins. Did you watch Michelle Obama last night giving her DNC (Democratic National Convention)? What a hit! Her brother's segway was genius and Michelle's speech ever so natural and warm.
The topping was daddy on the big screen greeting them from Kansas City. The little girls were as natural as can be. I'm certainly won ever if I hadn't been before.
This evening Hillary Clinton speaks.. I'm sure he speaks before Bill who speaks tomorrow evening. Ted Kennedy was grand last night too. All in all it was a fabulous, intertaining event.
Yes, and made me proud to be an American - Well, I will be as soon as we get these greedy crooks out of the white house and do away with world running lobbyist. What a bunch of thieves! Big corporations need to be regulated and need to pay their fair share of taxes..I'm very tired of being riped off by them and this so called government-for-the people allowing it to happen. It's time the government do their jobs and provide for "us" just like in European countries and in Canada. As it is now government officals are getting paid and kick-backs from large corporations to turn a blind eye to their greedy, cheating ways. Workers get paid next to nothing; certainly not enough to keep up with the higher cost of living, which greedy ass CEO's rake the money into their own pockets.
Things need to change!

Oh what the heck
I don't really care about being 60.. I'm almost 61. I'm still running almost everyday. But I do believe that I will ride bicycle less and less. Why? I don't know it may be getting too dangerous. And I really don't feel like driving fifty miles to ride across the river. I've done the trails so many times..it's the same old thing...so boring. It seems the street are too dangerous and the trails too boring or too many people on them.
A car came within a foot of me today. I truly saw that I had no room for error. He was probably seven inches from my handlebars. My mistake perhaps other than being out there was riding perhaps too close to the curb which left me no place to go if I had too. I was riding in the twenty inch space between the edge of the road pavement and the curb and right there he was riding. Oh he had lots of room to move near the center line. He was driving a compact car. He had room. Either he was sedated, blind, stupid or tried to get as close as he could. I didn't alter - I had to room to do anything..but ride steady ahead. It seems a long time until his car passed and I was only too grateful that the cracked pavement and holes were shallow because I didn't even have room to dismount if it would have been necessary! Pretty bad isn't it when motorist don't care if they kill, cripple or injure permanently. So, from this day on, I will ride less and less.
I had a premonition actually early today, a feeling of uncertainly and even fear when I thought about riding because recently a friend heard someone got hit on a bicycle and called me to see if I was alright. So, the concern had lingered and was brought foreword into my consciousness this unseasonably beautiful clear, cool actually, August day that I couldn't resist. I had a warning and my spirit guides then made sure I came back unharmed. Trust me, I was ready to get back home. I'll walk next time - they'll have to jump the damn curb to get me from now on.
This is the time of my life where I treasure every waking moment of exploring my consciousness and wonder. There is so much to learn and explore that I not ready to have it messed up by some stupid, ignorant, jealous driver so is childish enough to try to scare a bicyclist. Like get a life! I was in no way hampering his trip. I was well off to the side. I said I was riding near the curb so he came over to be extra close to me as he passed by.
So I refuse to be a statistic - go find some other victim - you loser! It's the same as when I was very young and waited for the bus in the morning heading to work and this sicko came along and offered me ride. Yeah right! "I won't rape you!" Asshole! I thought you damn right you won't..I was in a bad mood that morning anyway. Stupid asshole man! Why are some men so sick in the head? Losers! And they always strike out to others and not act internally. They have to take out others before he take out themselves. Like I said - losers.
So anyway, because there are stupid people out there and medicated people, and drunks, and people on phones I give it all up. You win! Next time you'll have to jump the curb to try to get me because I will either be running or walking my errands - no more bicycling.
So there you are - guess I'll do more running in the park. Oh, I guess they'll be waiting for me there too. They are always sitting in cars parked way in the back as it is. Like I said - sickos. Or they are there waiting to meet up with other men - you know living on the "down low". Oh no, they're not gay, just living on the down low. They are married so they can't be gay.
Again, I give up! Cannot comprehend! No compute!

I don't mind!
I don't mind being sixty. Why? I have 61 coming up soon in September..don't mind that at all either. Cause I'm "hot"!
I'm not your average looking over weight, gray, grabby, sickly, in-active, sendentary 61 year old.
I straight backed, slim gut, muscular legs, solid piece of trouble. So look out! I'm blonde. No, I'm not into make-up or foo foo. I'm not butch. I'm feminine enough where guys like me and may even flirt. ie.."Oh, I wanted to see who the good looking blonde was!" My friend says of the auto service department manager "..he likes you".
My ex is the most wonderful person. He alwys did tell me I was the best looking one there. She requests that I play my guitar. Another friends does too. Maybe two others besides. I'm flattered! Very! Compliments mean so much more when they are not solicited.
So I know my blessings, well, most of them. I'm sure some disappointments are blessings in disguise that I haven't chose to reconigize and acknowledge yet.
I thank the universe for my many gifts and blessings. I pray I stay in budget! No big trip planned for me. I'm thinking of buying a saxophone however! I realize that I can only play it when my neighbors are not at home. Or go to the park somewhere and play. I hope if get good fast! I love music.
I need to work on my art too, and sing and play guitar. I am most grateful for my health, wealth, and wisdom. My memory! My pain free body and mind! My common sense! My intelligence! My deligience and tanacity! Hail to mind over matter!
Why is it so hard for my friends to understand that mind leads and bodies follow. We must think positive thoughts! We must demand what we want. Say "I'm boss here".
I don't want my leg to hurt! I want to continue running and I will. Why is it so hard to get my friends to take Glucosamine Chontroitin? And Potassium? And Calcium with Vitamin D. Some dumb 40 year olds take Tums as their calcium source. Hello! Tums do not contain crucial for calcium absortion, vitamin D.
Why don't people do the research? And if they do research these points and ideas, they don't follow them. They are lazy! They would rather sit, get sick and fat then go crying to the doctor's for a fast method of relief!
Prevention is key and most importantly - ongoing! So, get into healthy, active healthy habits. You know what they are; you just choose to bury them and they since you are not active you become depressed and then go crying again to the doctors. Now I am big and fat and depressed! I go running to the doctor who has an interest in drug companies pushes drugs onto you instead of telling you - get your ass outside and walk - and once more, do not scroll along - walk fast! Move that ass!
The bigger they are the faster they move to the smorgistboard and elbow their way in and talk like a man! Big shot! I'm big therefore I must be loud! I big and I bust strings in seats and swatch little people and little dogs I can't see under my feet because of my outboard of a gut.
How did it get this bad? Even young obsese kids have high blood pressure and high LDL Chloresterol levels. Parents? Where are the parents? Oh they are huge too eating chips and fast foods!
What is wrong with we Americans? First of all we are all full of "ego"! We HAVE to have everything we want. All this useless stuff that we try to fill voids with and which doesn't work; food belongs in this category! Big ass SUV's to impress the poor smuck neighbor who is knee deep in debt too, just like you and also acting a like a successful - fool!
A huge houses! What is with that? My friend came from a family with six kids and they all lived in a three or four very small bedroom house, with one phone, one TV, and one car! How did they ever survive? Oh, and no microwave and no computer. No! I wouldn't want to give up any of "my stuff" either.
Forced with rising gas, groceries and everything else, prices I am forced to be more conservative. Like everyone else, I'm fight everyday rising costs.
But I think I'm going to buy my friend a bottle of Glucosamine Chontroitin today in hope that she will follow my advice and take at least two tablets a day so her knee gets better.
Wish me luck!
