My life is perfect
There's no reason to complain
That which I dislike
I'm welcome to change
A perspective to embrace
A way to make life's choices
To listen to your gut
And follow your heart's little voices
From the Love of Family
To the Support of Great Friends
I have all that I need
To make the best of Life's trends
I know there'll be moments
Life's events aren't all grand
I'll have to rise above it
Understand it and stick to the plan
Up and downs
Happiness and sorrow
It all depends
On our choices for tomorrow
I'll do all I can
Keep thinking to make life better
I'll smile and be kind
Even through stormy weather
~ ... Hear this call ~

Impotant
Been afraid to do lately
Been afraid that I'll die
Silly me, it's a fact of life
Do I want to not having tried
Can't live life in fear
Must live happily revered
Not for items obtained
For the inspiration that's shared
What's stopping me are thoughts
They weigh heavy at times
Holding me in
A prisoner in my mind
Confusion, depression
Just words to hear
The thoughts and anxiety
Are what's feared
Worried of what ifs
And afraid to do
Building of barriers
To separate and elude
Clarity not a factor
the problem is to act
It's not knowing what's wrong
I'm failing and holding back
~ Step Up! ~

Up from the Ashes ...
I've died thousands of times
All in my mind
I haven't had time
To wonder and ask why
A loss for words
How could I be so petty
For what ails my mind
Hold on, Be ready
Have strength to believe
Have Knowledge to see
And Most of all
Act kindly on creating
The deaths be told
Are mine alone
Visions I wish not
To see yet own
I fight when I shouldn't
I need not be afraid
Visions be dammed
I'll rise, stronger unscathed
~ Hope, Faith, and Courage ~

All Day! Every Day!
Turmoil and stress
May have filled the year
To focus on such
Would miss all that was shared
Blessed is my life
Fortunate to have you care
For all who I've called on
I'm glad you were there
The joy of family and friends
Good times and heartache
Together through it all
With Love and whatever it takes
~ up for another year

The Love of Life
I open my eyesNot for a peek
I open my eyes
With hope to seek
To find what I'm looking for
An end to a search
Not for a King's riches
Nor his throne to perch
To find peace and solace
Like the moment of birth
The innocence, the magic
To my mom from the nurse
~ Live in the moment

Journal to a Challenge revisited
Hi Double Dub checking in.
Nine days in and my challenge is a bust. I did five rides ~ 14.53 miles with Debbie at the Marina
20.68 miles at the LA River Trail
5.36 miles on the Southern end of the LA River
25.38 miles with Way from Torrance Beach to Marina Del Rey and back. (it should've been 26 miles but ...)
15.98 miles with Dan in Whittier
A total of 81.93 (endomondo has my monthly total at 81.85)
Total for the Endomondo Challenge, which started on April 14, 2013, is 840.56 miles.
Five in nine, Why? Well, I knew I couldn't keep up a pace of twenty miles a day. I'm not in good shape or condition. I started off great, with five rides in six days. My fifth ride was with Dan in Whittier. We had finished around 10PM. Saturday morning had me moaning in pain. Every move I made was like a heart attack. I had slept on my shoulder wrong and had inflamed some muscles in my chest and shoulder. It's a scary feeling! Left hand and arm would go numb, breathing was tight and congested. I kinda knew it wasn't a heart attack, you just know. But I had to take a couple of days off. Which killed me more. Through the suggestions of good friends and family, I made it point to get checked out by my doctor.
I got a "what's going on?" followed by "What the heck are you thinking? Why didn't you go to the Emergency Hospital?" Going through the examination, it was clear that this was muscular inflammation. He was happy to hear of my challenge but cautioned me not to over do it. He also recommended that I stretch before and after each workout and if I would, rest and recuperate a day or two in between. Yeah, there was an exchange of smiles on that one.
So, Although I won't meet my challenge in thirteen days, I did learn a few things. Stretching is important, both before and after each workout. Allow yourself time to rest and recover. And most importantly, If it feels like a heart attack, hurts like a heart attack, and you think it might be a heart attack, respond like it's a heart attack! Go to the ER, or call 911 immediately! I'm not a doctor, you're not a doctor. Don't play one when your life may be on the line. I'm also grateful for what I found. I found out that a lot of people, friends, care about me! I'm sorry to have caused any worry and thanks for being there. Promise, next time, it's straight to the E.R.
Much Love, Carve On!

The Journey
We are here to be tested
To what ends is the key
You may have succeeded
You just need to be set free
Our days may be challenged
They may float by like a breeze
It depends on the perspective
And how much you believe
Release the burdens you've placed upon you
Simplify as need be
Trust, faith, and your belief
Is all you'll ever need
The work can't be done for you
Believe in what you seek
The days will be easier
Climb to the mountains peak

13 days ~ 260 miles check that 30 Days ~ 260 miles
Yo Double Dub Checking in.
Coming off a disappointing August, I've made a personal challenge for myself. I promised I would hit a thousand miles in our Endomondo (app) Challenge. I'm currently in 6th place with 758.71, 241.29 miles to go!
I went out on the first of the month with fellow So Cal Carver, Debbie Bumgardner. We were looking to cut up Marina Del Rey! We were hoping to do 20. We chose to meet up on the trail at Centinela Blvd. off the 90 highway and carve in towards Manhatten Beach. The first 3 miles was nothing but work! Facing strong headwinds and a slight grade on the inlet bike trail, this was our warm up. Other than that the route was pretty and smooth.
Our turnaround cut it short cause the Sun was coming down. I can't remember if there was much wind but we were moving. It was a really go ride to kick off this challenge of mine.
Oh, yes, I amended my Challenge. What was I thinking? Twenty a day for thirteen straight?!!! The way I've been feeling, I'd be lucky to get this in thirty. Yeah, You know I'm still gonna try.
