Here we go again

Life is just full of surprises. Some good. Some bad. All of them learning experiences. I only know to well that you never stop learning.

There has been a few events in my life recently that have really brought this to life. I think I did o.k. in not only handling them but learning from them. One of the most important things I came away with was something tha was so eloquently said in Kung Fu Panda: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."

It's so true. I just hope I continue to remember it...

Insanity workout is, well, insane

So I started doing the Insanity DVD's and they really are no joke. 2 signs that these DVD's are for real: 1. during the warm up you get tired and 2. The people, who look like they are in incredible shape, in the DVD are dying and sometimes are just laid out on the floor at the end.

And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it. They're more unhappy than me - even in my current condition. O may be dying, but I am surrounded by loving, caring souls. How many people can say that?" -pg 40 "Love. Love always wins" -pg 40 "So many people walk around with a meaniningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is t...

Playing the Stock Market

So I have decided to try my hand at investing in the stock market. Not much, I want to invest a little (so if I lose it, I won't miss it) and get use to how everything works. I am now in the middle of teaching my self what all the jargon means and what would be best for me and my family. I have been obsessed with learning all I can the past week. I think I have barely scratched the surface though. Any ways hopefully I won't make too many mistakes!
