If we don’t spend time worrying about our health, does that mean we’re safe?
What a strange question.
Does sticking our head in the sand make the scary monster go away?
Did my annual comprehensive blood test this morning. And then a work-offered biometric screening hours later.
Apparently, it’s good to practice what you preach.
Recently had a conversation with a business person about how personal life issues are really of no concern to most employers.
We sort of reminisced about a time, before the recession, when it at least felt like it (even though back then it was the same truth).
Our 11-year old yellow Lab is very sick. Again.
This may be the end.
And then to try and balance that with our son’s incurable disease, aging parents, other Family member’s health issues, and even our own health issues.
Knowing when to talk about things – while it doesn’t solve the world’s “problems”, it does provide moments of solace.

Life. We love being alive.
We dread dying.
In between, we have to carve out our life. A life that hopefully allows us to not only survive, but also to thrive somewhat.
To have mostly good days, a fair number of “bad” days, and occasionally a few great days.
Bad, good, great. We will each define these differently, no doubt. That’s okay. It’s all relative anyway.
So what’s the point?
The point is, what will today be?
Being the Internet’s only Five-a-Day Blogger, there is a certain feeling of, well, it’s hard to describe.
It’s like finding yourself in a place you never dreamed of, but if you did dream of it, you’d think it would be:
Well, after writing 1,500 posts in the spontaneous, same-day format, I can’t stop myself.
In fact, some days I do need to stop myself.
Why?
Because I want to write more than one post per blog. “That would be too much for the Internet community to read”, I think to myself.
And then it occurs to me, “What if it’s not?”
That’s today’s message. As you are nearly two weeks into your new year, “How are you doing with your impossible goal?”
Heard this phrase the other night, probably on the TV as I was walking though a room, and I wrote it down.
“The art of compromise.”
We can take guesses as to what this means, or we can simply make up our own meaning. That’s what I did, and came up with five different ways:
The comment’s intent targeted the Senators power to say “no” to President Obama – relationships and the passing of President Obama’s Health Care Bill.
Some Senators held their vote until they got a really good deal for their state. This had people debating it’s fairness, and the Senator’s enormous power to say, “No.”
At the end of the day, it’s really about relationships and who you know.
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s about who you no.
