2009 - Time to invest in yourself, your relationships, your community.
It is time – time to commit to you.
It is time to open your sense of possible beyond what your mind has told you that you could do. It is time to challenge yourself to find the capacity within your body that you may have forgot or never knew. It is time to remove barriers both real and imagined that stop you. It is time to find the discipline to change habits. It is time to eat less and move more. It is time to invest in you. It is time to look in the mirror and state – I am a great investment.
It is time – time to connect with people in healthy positive ways.
It is time to listen and learn. It is time to bring others onto the path of fitness. It is time to support one person in a healthy achievement. It is time to be strong and challenge a friend to be fit with you. It is time to be vulnerable and ask a friend to support your path to fitness. It is time to share the roads, trails, gym, and courts and find the friendship at the end is the greatest accomplishment. It is time to invest in the relationships that build health. It is time to look in the eyes of another and say I will invest in you and commit to support your path as you support mine.
It is time – time to build our community into vibrant healthy enclaves of active lives.
It is time to know that we are all one and our community’s health is our own. It is time to share your talent, wisdom, and energy so that others can find a path to health. It is time to invest in the groups and organizations that provide healthy change in our community.
As we all make these investments, we will grow assets that are valuable beyond finance – the gifts of health, love, and a nurturing community.
Make the investment. It truly is a great investment.
Keep Moving,
Chris

Sick
So my being sick was…
Denying – I will not get sick, I can not get sick, I do not get sick, I am not sick, I will take some extra vitamins but am not sick, I have a little scratchy throat but will be fine tomorrow, I can still work while I cough and hack…
Ignoring - I am just going to keep my appointments because I have too much riding on my involvement, I will get going early tomorrow and do some extra meditation, I can do anything I set my mind to do…
Catching – I feel terrible, I ache everywhere, my throat is screaming sore, I can hardly breathe, my head is ready to explode…
Succumbing – I am sick, I can’t do anything on my schedule – in fact I can’t do much of anything, I will cancel my work schedule and call the doctor…
Suffering - I can do little more than sit, cough, blow, and spit, can I find the truth of life in this suffering – no, I can’t even think…
Nothing – sleep, silence, warmth, no physical, no mental, no emotional - the doing of nothing is the now of my existence – keep moving is now not moving…
Meaning – I can learn from this low, sickness is part of life’s balance; I have had little balance as of late, my level of stress is extreme, I don’t sleep near enough; my long term health is a commitment to my family…
Understanding – I find a simple idea or action to be exciting and valuable again, life is an adventure race and should be well planned, focusing on the long range goal, and allowing a slower pace to take in and enjoy life’s extraordinary views, meeting people and discovering new places while learning about myself…
Moving beyond – I make mistakes and will again, the polarity of this life will test me again, however, I will pray (and act) with more balance along the way.
