day 37 wow am I sore from the gym yesterday, me and three others poured concrete yesterday after the gym and I didn't start feeling it until last night, I got off work early yesterday and when I got to where I was staying I took a two hour nap and when I woke up I could hardly move, I guess I'm doing it right if I'm sore but not hurt. Anyway its six thirty and I'm waiting on my boy Harley so I can take him to get his learners permit. Last night when we were talking he told me that he's been reading my blog and that he hasn't been mentioned once. Well I would like to tell all of you about my son Harley, he is sixteen and very responsible, he doesn't need to be told to do homework or get up for school or even a certain time to be home at night, this last school year he was trying to get a job a month before school even got out, and he got one, the only complaints I heard out of him was when he didn't get forty hours or more, there could not be a parent anywhere more proud of their kids than I am of him especially when I think of the lack of guidance he has had, I love you and I am very proud of you.
Thank you Jenifer for your comment yesterday, it seems that I get a lot of answers about how to get off drugs from people who have never been under their spell. I hope nobody takes that the wrong way, I learn from every bodies comments. We need more people like you to step up and sign their name to their mistakes and what they have gone through, and I'm not just talking about drugs, I'm talking about all the problems life hands us. It seems most people are ashamed or embarrassed of their poor choices or mistakes that they have made in life, people try to tip toe around them or sweep them under the carpet when actually they are some of the best lessons we will learn. Hiding your problems will never solve them, only prolong them. To solve these problems of life you must make them the topic of conversation as to gain several different solutions to pick from, in this process your problems will get solved as other people will learn what not to do. I truly believe the past is the past; you cannot change it so the next best thing is to learn from it and teach others as well. I believe the more you do this, you will not only build character, but people will have a new found respect for you. The weight of the world will slowly fall off your shoulders and this struggle of life will turn into a stroll in the park as intended. Thanks again Jenifer for signing your name to your past, I believe this is the first step to a new life. James
hey, we all make mistakes, it is part of life, sometimes part of growing, I've made a few real doozies....but they are my problems and people who count to me, know about them and helped with those problems when I needed help....I could not have made it thru life without my friends and their support..........and I love them and I am grateful to them, however, I am and would be there for them at any point and there is no doubt about this. Makeing friends like this is a lifetime project.....and I worked hard at it, just as they did.......It is never easy, friendship is never a gift that you just get and play with.....it is a working relationship that takes time and energy on both sides.......Aunt P.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the feeling of soreness after a good workout. Trouble is, after you've been working out a while you don't feel it anymore, at least not to the extent you do when you first start working out. I find that it really doesn't kick in until the second day after you first start working out.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great post! The more we expose our shortcomings to the light of day, the less power they have over us. Blessings, Jack
I forgot to warn you about working out too much your first day in. And your son Harley sounds amazing Jimmy I would really like to meet him someday soon. ~d
