It’s Friday again and it has been a very busy but fast week. Sometimes you have those weeks you wouldn’t mind doing again but only if you had to pick one—this was one of those. Friday we have implemented a new tradition — Fitness Friday! Yep. We will start out slow with 10 pushups for a month and then progress from there. So far all the guys jumped in and it felt great. I am planning on having a killer workout this afternoon as soon as I can get out of here.
Of course, the weekend will go quickly. Luckily its also Birthday Weekend for my nephew Christopher and my brother-in-law Mark. Birthdays are fun; especially since they are not funerals. It adds a sunny outlook to a weekend rumored to be nasty weather wise. At least with birthdays we are reminded of our strength and that sometimes we do win; otherwise we wouldnt be here. If you feel like you have a lousy life or that things are always bad; it serves as another small amount of evidence that perhaps you should be looking for somebody to help. There’s always somebody doing worse than you are. Sometimes you see people with incredible spirits who really could easily pick a reason to not be happy. On those days, you know you dont have any legitimate excuses. All your parts are there and functioning...surely they could be put to better use than complaining. This week I have talked to several people who have been evaluating their lives. I think that’s healthy to take assessments often. In doing so, it always means change—which we rarely are willing to make; especially drastic change immediately. One of my favorite podcasts Dan Miller is loaded with common sense solutions that we have to constantly be reminded of by some stranger.
Friday! Oh, that means its time for Fridaku too! I met the Pensive One at our favorite coffehouse for a chat with the chattables. Since he’s from Louisiana, he reminded me that its Mardi Grais weekend. I suppose I will be rooting for the Saints only because that region has had a long rough time and could use as much sunshine as possible. Meanwhile, I still like Payton; so its ok either way for me.
Cold Rain on Bald Head
Cold spikes on my head
falling tiny and sharp,
Plop the raindrops fall.
Cars on Wet Streets
Thwack four times make one
Cars passing on the wet street
Tires kissing the road.
Waning Friday Workday
Fingers tapping keys
Hours slipping politely by
Friday slips away.

Hours slip politely by no matter what we're doing in them. Every haiku is helped with a Dali painting!
