Getting Fit For Health

If only Jillian could move in with us for a few weeks.  Who wouldn't lose weight with Jillian around?  I love watching Biggest Loser.  Not only is the show motivating but at times very thought provoking.  Have you ever ask yourself are you the best you can be?  If you are not, have you thought about what might be holding you back from being the best you can be?  That is certainly what God desires for us......so "be the best you can be today" or begin to discover what is holding you back.

Four Day Work Week and Our Economy (reposting)

I posted this 2 years ago but I think it bears repeating.  I emailed our Govenor and State Superintendent of Education last year with these suggestions.  I emailed our new Govenor this year.  I also suggested offering a tax break to small businesses that close on Friday.  Yes there are many logistical issues to work out but what do we have to lose?  And doesn't it appear obvious that we have alot we could gain by making these changes?

Our present economic situation is like nothing most of us have seen in our life time. We have gas and energy concerns....high cost and shortage. Businesses laying off employees. Obvious awnser...a manditory 4 day work week. Seem silly? Think about it. If we all worked 4 10 hour days, businesses would have the energy savings of 1 day a week. Wonder how many jobs could be saved? Think about if school buses did not run one day a week, the gas and financial savings would save alot of teaching jobs and pay for alot of teaching supplies.

Wouldn't it be great to have Friday declared as "family day"? Moms, Dads, children spending time together. Look at our First Family, the dog, the garden, a wholesome all America family. It is obvious they enjoy being together. Could it be possilbe they are setting the tone, reminding us of what is really important?

Sounds to me like everyone would win. Wonder why we are not hearing any discussion about this?

Hot Krispy Kreme Donuts

Last night my daughter and the kids had a date night.  Daddy was busy so the three of them went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  After the movie my daughter took them to Krispy Kreme.  She took them inside so they could see the donuts being made.

She called me to tell me the kids had their first experience with Krispy Kreme hot glazed.  As Drake (8 years old) was eating his first one he said "where did my donut go?"  They do disappear quite fast.  Addison (5 years old) said as they were driving off "that has changed my life!"  
What a fun memory of mom taking them to experience their first KK hot glazed.
