 “We must become in our lives the things that we choose to experience as our world.”

~ Gregg Braden

The work on the house continues...........SLOWLY!
Access to my desk is limited at best.
Today I came home to no workers here.
Good news/Bad News.
The bad news is nothing is getting done.
The good news is I was able to squeeze around the mass of furniture, tools , scaffolding and ladders ,pull up the drop cloths that are covering everything including my desk, and grab this opportunity to write to you.
"And this too shall pass!"
As I was getting dressed today I found myself thinking about the 2 things in my life that I would say I am always concerned about and never at ease over, my weight and my finances.
I asked myself this question:
If I could eliminate either one of these areas of concern, which one would be more valuable to me.
My initial thoughts were my weight.
This has been an "all my life" battle.
Up,then down, then up again, and up some more.
If you haven't experienced it,I can't even begin to impart the toll it has taken on me,physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Besides, if I wasn't stressing my weight, I could direct my resources of time and energy towards my finances.
Yes, definitely my weight!
Okay.......who am I kidding!
The real problem is that I am never satisfied with my weight or self image.
Looking back to when I was at my lowest weight (November of 2014), I still hated the way I looked.
6' tall and 182 pounds and I was unhappy with the way I looked.'
Seriously,what an a$$.
I believe that the same would be true if all of a sudden I hit the lottery for a couple of million.
Would I be be content?
Probably!
Actually,that would be an understatement.
I believe that I would be energized.
It has been said of me that I am a much different  (read happier) person when I have money in my pocket.
While I am never a fan of the "If Only" view of life, I found myself daydreaming a bit of what that might look like.
And then I climbed into my bus and back to reality!
