Hauling ass

Howdy from the land of Bartlett pears and Fuji apples!

There is a saying that goes---life is like a roll of toilet paper, the less paper on the roll the faster it spins.

Life is like that, the older I get the faster time flies. I guess it has been that way with every generation.It is already mid January---crap Christmas will be here before you know it.

I often think we all run in too high of a gear. Always in a rush to go here and do this, or buy this and live like this. We forget what is really important----family, love,laughter,friends,sights , smells ----the little things we will never get back and all those things that no one not even the federal government can take from us---our memories.

We speed thru life and wake up one day obese and worn out---why, because we did not pay attention to the important stuff.

While, in my last post , I felt somewhat discouraged with my journey, I should remember the important stuff about where I am at and how I got here. In 4 weeks I will go back to Van Horn, Texas ----if the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise. I was in better shape last year than any year I have gone previously. I am in a lot better shape this year.This year I am around 30 pounds lighter, able to walk twice as far and carry 50% more weight in my pack than last year. And that MARTHA is a GOOD THING!

My point is, in slowing down and really paying attention to the important stuff---my health--- I have improved my health , my strength and my attitude.

Like my friend Muata will tell ya, consistent practice and strength building wins the race.
