A Struggle at the Gym ~

Ever go the gym and think your going to have a great workout but something else happen’s.  This article is a true story regarding myself; a struggle at the gym.  The question remains: Did I walk out and give up or did I stay???

Started the morning off waking up, getting ready to head over to the gym.  Burr is it cold outside.  Driving to the gym I was thinking that I was awake and ready to hit the weights hard.  Started off on the stationary bike to do our warm-ups; then off to the weights.  I seemed ready as ready as I can be but there was something else that was going on, that I was not aware of.

Weep Rather For Yourselves

When I heard the news that my father has been wheelchair stricken I was very disturbed. It did not come as a surprise because from my previous visits, I could see that his legs were becoming more and more deformed from the effects of arthritis. He had to move very slowly in order not to loose his balance.

I knew that even in his old age, my father values the freedom to do activities on his own very much. On the phone, he sounded very frustrated when he related how he was not able to go out to buy food, attend to his banking needs, buy medicines and vitamins or just taking walks outdoors anymore.
