Ok, just a thought. I was thinking about the concept of sowing. Like a seed. And all the references to it in religious teachings as well as cultural sayings and beliefs. I do something, and I want to see the results immediately. That's not sowing patiently. I used to have more patience, but I think I didn't practice using it enough. The same way as you can improve character by practice, I think in some ways I have lost parts of my character I wish I hadn't.

So, sowing. I would like to start sowing a lot of things. Even literally. I've got a bunch of old tires that I'm...

Ok, it's going. My mind is really clear and memory is better. I don't know if it's all the flax oil I've been adding to my diet or being off the carbs. It's probably a combination. I know that the balance inside probably has way too much unhealthy oil and too little healthy. I'm trying to tip that balance in the right direction. I get dry skin rashes all the time and I'm itching a lot less. I'm too heavy to move easily of course, but it doesn't feel like I'm being dragged down by anchors anymore. I'm sitting up easier.

I like to walk, and hike, and I LOVE to dance, and I love to lift heavy weights.
I wonder waht else we should call it?
Perhaps, "go outside to play"?

So I got myself a membership at another gym... I went in yesterday to meet with a trainer and she totally kicked my butt! I'm walking and doing everything a little slower today - so sore
Oh well ~ it's worth it. I miss going to the gym... I used to go about 3-4x a week for years and years. I quit just last January because of how crappy I was feeling. Plus I had gained almost 25 pounds since starting that membership, so I felt it wasn't really doing anything.

Now with this new diet plan, I'm re-invigorated to try my workouts again. Maybe this time I'll have...
