ded-i-key-tid

DEDICATED:
Wholly committed to something, as to an ideal, political cause,
or PERSONAL GOAL



Saturday when I was cleaning my Granpa's house I ran across this exercise block that I gave my Granma several years ago...

I actually set this block on the floor in front of her and walked around it several times and said "there ya go Granma...I just walked around the block 3 times so I've got my exercise in for the day!" She looked at me funny then I showed her the card that came with the block...

She completely cracked up laughing then followed it with
a micro lecture on me needing to get healthy.

**Ok this is where I had a pretty big heart to heart with myself but have since decided remove it...bottom line the "exercise block" has been the equivalent to my dedication :/

Then yesterday I was Inspi[red] by someone...

I think he is the ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF DEDICATION!!

This is my neighbor and I think he's training for a Triathlon

Through the deep snow he went round and round
until he created his own track around the pond

I couldn't stop watching him!

He rode like this for over an hour...he took a break for a few hours
then was back out at it again...

I'm sorry I know that I've chopped up this post and it may not make a lot of sense...all I can say is that I'm in complete awe by his commitment and dedication!!

Geesh, Ang, an example like that is indeed sobering and inspiring and challenging. Let's chat, and let's work harder on getting healthier together! xoxo
