Motivation Secret Sauce
I swam again this morning and did River's Way goals group. I think the other reason I am doing so great with motivation lately is because I identified "Endurance" as my main focal area. It is a great thing to push towards!
Poems
Friends as Waterfalls My waterfalls don't hang up Do not disturb signs But maybe the rain was a lot recently And I imagine the trail is too muddy Or maybe it's been bone dry But I just don't think It's the best falls to see that day Or I just get a feeling Other wanderers who might be visiting Would prefer to go alone One of my favorite waterfalls To listen to her bubble Or roar and seem to laugh Is a trek away Sometimes I write her emails Our special little place Sometimes I don't commune with her Though I crave to talk to someone Maybe I should more Her mossy banks Have been the best to feel My bare feet stand upon her So grateful for her touch.

Good morning World
I never have felt so motivated for several years. A couple things lit a fire up under my ass and have motivated me to swim, walk, and eat less sugar. I have started participating again in River's Way, which provides for me social support, the key to my current success. Also, 2 or 3 health concerns all spurred me to want to exercise more.

I live 12.2 miles from a waterfall. My kitchen table lies 9.2 miles from 3 parking spots at the dead end of a 2 mile headwater road. My hair is still damp from jumping in a swimming hole 8.4 miles from my laptop. It’s 7.7 miles to my friends’ house at the start of the road, My previously mentioned friends have a second house along the way, 3.5 miles along. One option is to walk some on the mendota trail from where is starts 2.7 miles from my beating hearth. Blackbird bakery on the fly is a tempting stop, 1.6 miles from home. My favorite Egyptian/ Italian restaurant exists 1.5 miles from my doormat. I cou...
