My challenge is dedicated to this . Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter, fail again. Fail better. | Do not fear mistakes. There are none. These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. My personal tyranny is my big ole noggin. I'm such a big pile of sad that I am annoying myself. I don't even know why my pets like me. Therefore, it's time to get over myself. Work really hard for something and esteem it's value. This is a challenge with a bribe. If I rock it (rocket?) these 6 weeks, then I earn a prize. Not sure what that prize will be. I've had my eye on some NF kit but also have my REI rebate to spend... If I don't rock it, but fail spectacularly then I get a prize. Essentially I'm making an effort to say I may not win the battle but I still have to die trying. You gotta admit that the above mentioned rocket failed in a most enjoyable way. Exercise Goals I'm becoming dangerously close to only trying to be good and feel good when my life isn't shitty. Summer soldier? Thus it's time to bring the smack down on the good fight. 1 - Grip - So I realized this was a mini challenge 1?2? challenges ago, but you all moved too fast for me. My "upper body strength" is totally limited by my hand grip and what my elbows can handle. 2 - Flexibility - biking and lifting are in constant conflict with my desire to feel comfortable. Anybody want to trade hips and knees and calves? 3 - Pick up things that are not light in weight - I would say heavy things but let us be realistic. 4 - Take Terry's Climbing Course. (Which will require me signing up soon) Life Goals I fear I have been teaching my dog too many bad habits. Like me, she does not want to get off the couch.* I'm also considering making a blog like reasons my son is crying possible titles include 'reasons my dog is whining' and 'reasons my dog is sleeping' * It's a love seat and both of us fit on it together. Sort of. 1- Private 2- Heavenly Heeling - Time to "get serious" about the canine good citizen test before its too late and the little monster takes over the world. Plus Pups and Pints will start again soon. 3 - Read and reflect on The Antidote and The Art of Happiness (which was written by the ) Buttmuch. I guess I have to assign attribute points but I'll do that later, perhaps. I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
