Perfect contentment....

Saturday afternoon, June 10, 2006....

This is it, I can feel it.

Perfect contentment.

Peace of mind.

Happiness.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

No life isn't perfect. I still have my share of troubles and woe but AT THIS MOMENT, this exact moment, I am the best that I have ever been. This is who I have struggled to be my whole life - you see, today I realize that I am OK. EXACTLY as I am.

I win.

This feeling is what happens when you don't give up. This is what happens when you believe that things will get better. That you are more than what others will let you be.

This is my life.

Thanks be to God! Amen.


I'm back on track. It's been another good food week. I've had three really good treadmill workouts and I'm making gains in my yoga practice. This morning, I played tennis. I walked to and from work a couple of times this week. I've lost some weight. I'm eating really good healthy food (aside - OMG HOW GOOD ARE FRESH STRAWBERRIES...) and recording it all in FitDay.com.


My video this week features Bernadette Peters singing a song called "Unexpected Song" from one of the lesser known Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, "Song & Dance". I first saw it some twenty years ago when I was living in London, England and just recently saw it again in Toronto.

I pray that you know of such love, though it has eluded me so far in this life. Though it is entirely possible now.

Wow, where has twenty years gone?



Now, I know that I can!

Wow, this is the most upbeat post I've read on your blog yet. This is great news. In just a few days you can go from being high on cheese to being high on life. Good for you Scott. I'm happy for you. Plus, it's amazing how much proper nutrition and exercise can help. Wouldn't you agree. I don't eat healthy or exercise to look good, I always do it to feel good. I've found that life is much more enjoyable when you feel good. I'm glad you are feeling good my friend. Take care and keep it up.

Glad to hear all is well in the world of Scott. I wish I were losing weight. Of course with the way I eat I really do not deserve to lose weight. Have a good week.

Somebody once said, if you know where you're going, you're sure to end up somewhere else. Ain't that the truth. GOD only knows at the moment that this want-to-be runner is lost somewhere between where he thought he was going and where he will eventually turn up. Stay tuned.
