keep your faith

They say when it rains it pours and lately some bad things have happened but you have to have faith that things will turn around for the better. Where you derive your faith is your business but hopefully you can find it within yourself to believe good things can still happen. I read Cyclediva's blog and I hope you find the medications you need to relieve your headaches. I hope once you find the right doctor and meds, that you will be able to enjoy everyday including your bike rides with your hubby. Now, as for you merider, you don't need to constantly worry about getting a job. Relax. You have family to help you and if things work out, you will either find a good job or you may go back to school for awhile. Whenever you feel depressed, just imagine me there scratching your back and reminding you of how special you are. While you have so much time on your hands, keep biking and spend time with friends. You can watch a good movie or write. By the way, I would like to read your articles so let me know where to read them. You are a wonderful writer and terrific athlete. I couldn't imagine riding 10 miles much less 30 miles. I do, however, walk between 20 to 25 miles a week. I'm also going to either start jogging a few days in my neighborhood or at the Y. I was thinking about the neighborhood so I could enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Just so you know, a really good thing happened yesterday (see things can get better!). My new teacher at WW's, we will call her J., is wonderful. She helps me with any questions I have plus she helps me clean up afterwoods. St. couldn't stay after so not only did I have to put up everything after class, but I had to rush to make sure the paperwork is right. J. is also a wonderful teacher and positive person. I really like working with her. She didn't know why St. didn't say goodbye but evidently she quit all her classes but one. We don't know why. Also, my totals came out correct! I wasn't over or under, yeah!!! We had 35 people come to class. At one point I was sure my blood pressure was up. If we have just one more person come, I will have an additional receptionist to help us. We made almost $800 dollars and sold six passes for $99 dollars each. We also had four more members join. We only sold $12 dollars in products but that is better than nothing. I feel much better about WW's now. Another good thing is that Tippy is better today. On Sunday he was really sick but today he doesn't seem to be in pain and he is eating and drinking. We are taking him to the vet next Tuesday for a check up and a shave. Another good thing is that Grandma's sugery was a sucess and she is already working on getting better. I will say it again. Try to keep your faith that things can get better. Remember, what goes down eventually has nowhere to go but back up again. Have a great day, merider and Cyclediva! Fitness Tip: when you want to keep eating but you have eaten enough, take a brisk walk or drink a big glass of water or stay busy doing something so that your hungry can subside. Love you, guys! JT
