Hey  Everyone,

I just wanted to ask for your prayers, many of you all know my best friend, training partner Steve Zaracki. 

Steve was taken by ambulence to UMC Sunday afternoon when he it became difficult for him to breathe and what became a the worst pain he has ever experienced!  If you know Steve You know he is can take alot of pain.  His stomach was bloated with a Stabbing pain.   They Still do  not know what is wrong this morning now 730am..  They have done two cat scan’s to see if there is an obstruction in his stomach, maybe his intestine is kinked, twisted or possibly scar tissue from when he was shot 7 times in 1997!  Dang..

So prayers for Steve please..  He is in room 64472 if you would like to send him a card..  I will get down to see him later today and let you know the latest!

Good Morning everyone!! It is a great day to be alive, and be thankful for all of God’s Blessings to you!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our chief want in life is to find someone who will encourage us to be what we know we could be.” When we embrace the truth that the spirits of all men and women are infinitely upgradeable, we will grasp the importance of practicing the power of encouragement. Cor is the Latin root for courage; it means “heart.” When we give others encouragement, we give them “heart.” Human beings were created and designed to live with heart; without heart we have no confidence to achieve greatness.

When you withhold encouragement to others you risk crippling their future ….. and yours too!

There are men and women who are truly brilliant all around us, just waiting for someone to encourage and empower them to be what they know they could be.

There is no other power that truly leverages the human spirit like the power of encouragement. Take time to discover what people want to accomplish in their lives and proceed to tirelessly and sincerely encourage them to fulfill their dreams. Enthusiastically encourage others to reach their highest and best; never berate and discourage others to the point where they sink to their lowest and least esteem.

Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday of March, which is March 8 and ends on the first Sunday of November, that is November 1. So daylight saving time starts tomorrow, adjust your clock forward 1 hour at 2.00 AM on Sunday.

Here is an explanation from Wikipedia.

“Daylight saving time is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. One of the many effects of this adjustment is that it shifts the start of the day closer to sunrise.

The practice is controversial.Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but causes problems for farming, entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun. Traffic fatalities are reduced when there is extra afternoon daylight; its effect on health and crime is less clear.”

Well Millard School District just announced there will not be school tomorrow Friday 12/19/08  …  So there will be no classes tomorrow!  If you attempt to get out tomorrow please drive safe!!

Like many people, you may develop cabin fever during the winter months. Or you may find yourself eating more or sleeping more when the temperature drops and darkness falls earlier. While those are common and normal reactions to the changing seasons, people with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) experience a much more serious reaction when summer shifts to fall and on to winter.

With seasonal affective disorder, fall’s short days and long nights may trigger feelings of depression, lethargy, fatigue and other problems. Don’t brush this off as simply a case of the “winter blues” that you have to tough out on your own.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression, and it can severely impair your daily life. That said, treatment — which may include light box therapy — can help you successfully manage seasonal affective disorder. You don’t have to dread the dawning of each fall or winter!  This is real.. people so do not take this lightly! (no pun intended)

Happy Birthday Son!
