The seeds we sow...

Will be the fruits we harvest.

Regretfully, as in nature, we can't plant a thorn bush and expect to harvest sweet peaches.

And thankfully, as in nature, we won't reap a weed when we plant a bounty of beauty.

Pretty simple...

If you're not good at something...

And want to be...just do more of it.

Pretty simple concept, it's called practice.

But many of us want to be good at something "now", and unless you were
born with some really sweet talent at what you're wanting to be good
at, it usually takes a bit of work.

No worries though - practice over time, with repetition can overcome
just about anything.

Whether you want to be good at golf, painting, relationships, public
speaking, piano - it makes no difference.

Just start with the basics and practice, and over time, with
repetition, you will be far beyond your starting point - and getting
better - every time you do it.

It doesn't take all day...

To realize the Sun is Shining.

Yet, occasionally, we do take all day...and sadly we realize that we were part of something really special...when
it's almost over.

But, we can "Spin it and Win it" for our future, by not allowing our
perceptions of finding we are part of something really special...late
in the game.

We can go into every situation and pick up on the sweet
vibe we bring...from the very start.

Your "Sweet Spot"...

Is then transferred to your "Wheelhouse".

Ir's describing anything that is coming toward you, that you can see as
presented to you in slow motion (sweet spot), entering your "space" for
you to do what you do best, in total control (wheelhouse).

In baseball, a batter has their own individual, sweet spot that
activates their wheelhouse, it may be a pitch thrown down the pipe, a
little low and inside, and then all pistons fire, by reflex, and the
balls sails deep over the center field wall.

Just something about a sweet spot that puts the rest into motion, achieving greatness.

BTW - We also have a sweet spot in our thoughts, that get our wheelhouse turning, big time, in the right way.

How would it be...

To have someone say "It sure must be pretty cool being you"?

Sweet, eh?

Well, people notice, not what you do, but how you do it.

Whether you drive a bus, teach, or sweep the streets - it's not what
you do, but how you do it...that makes the difference.

Do we do what we do with flair and excitement, or with a labored
stride, clinging to the ring of the bell, which denotes "quitting time"?

Remember, work is play with a purpose and it's all dependent on how we
play, that makes work fun and worthwhile, and it's what makes others take notice.

Ah, it's Christmas Eve...

Some Celebrate it and some don't, either way, it's the start of a National Holiday tomorrow...Christmas!

And that's the day to be with family and friends, eating, conversing
and just plain "hanging out", and for some, giving and receiving some
pretty sweet gifts.

We've all had a pretty tough year, and there is no sense in bringing the funk to our celebration.

So let's all make it a point, and do whatever it takes, to really make this Holiday a long lasting memory.

On average, adults need about...

2000 calories a day, and it's because we, on the average "burn" about 2000
calories a day.

Different activities require more fuel, the more strenuous - the more
fuel, and less strenuous means less fuel needed - it's a good rule of
thumb.

Sitting quietly, "burns" 84 calories per hour, while walking "burns"
252.

So when you do the math - sitting quietly all day and night - we "burn"
about 2016 calories.

So if you don't want to cut calories from your diet, just knowing there
is simple math going on that can help us "burn" more calories by upping
our activity, is pretty sweet.

Tomorrow is going to be...

The Best day of my life!

Today is Wednesday, and we had vegetable soup last night so we can
splurge on tonight's meal which just happens to be "Date Night", plus I
get to see my youngest get 2 awards at school today, which leads up to
feeling pretty good about things.

And tomorrow I get to see a lot of great people at work, just "soaking
in" how lucky I really am. And I will chat with someone who is taking a
little time off...which will be pretty special.

Also we get catered food on Thursday...I don't know what it will be,
but I bet it will be pretty tasty! Yep, tomorrow is going to be the
best day of my life!

Come to think of it, Today may just be the best day of my life -
leading into tomorrow being the next best day in my life...but I do a
lot of my writing on Friday's so that day may be...and I'm thinking
Saturday will be pretty sweet...

If you get a chance, let me know what day is going to be the best day of your life:)
