Are you a good resource?

In my own world, I try my best to be a good resource for others. I was thinking today about people who wants to be a good resource and never are called upon to help others. I am guilty of this, are you? Are there people around you willing to help, and you don't let them. Why? Serving others is one the greatest feeling I have in life. Giving the opportunity for others to serve is a good thing. Now, go and allow those around you to serve with you instead of you doing it all by yourself.

Last night, I went to a rehearsal of the Gwinnett Symphony Chorus. I think I will join them, but it was a very intimidating experience. All in one night, we sang, German, Latin, and Italian. All in one night. I was worned out as well. 3 hour rehearsal. They were getting ready for their Sunday performance. It was good overall. I look forward to this summer activity.

Summer is around the corner. Please come fast!

Still Walking!

I am still enjoying walking. I have lost some water weight. I am feeling pretty good. I am sleeping better. I do have more energy in the mornings. I am nicer to my students. I have notice enough changes to make this walking thing my new hobby. I was eating tonight worrying whether I had enough time to get my walk in for the day.

My new girlfriend is walking! I know that sounds different, but I am thinking here lately during the day designing new routes to walk. I am at a turning point I believe. I am getting ready for the summer and the only plans right now is walking.

My prayer is that I will be able to walk when the weather gets hotter. It has been very cool here in Atlanta with all the rain. God keeps providing time for me to walk.

Saturday, I walked 4 miles to reach my goal for the week. I went 11 miles instead of 10. So far this week being a Monday, I am doing pretty good.

Biggest challenge was to just get started. You know how you say you are going to do something I have found that I do have to plan and make a goal, and then I usually do it. If you are reading, I am not judging anyone, but I will tell you to just get started. I am using miles. I walk and then get in my car and drive the route to let me know how many miles I had walked.

Just get started!
