What about when you say too much? Thinking that you know someone and knowing that in the long run they need to hear what you have too say. Do they? from you? Who is to say that you have to be the one to say? Who gave you that privilege? When does it border on critical or just one of those things that you have noticed and you want the other party to be aware of.
Do we even have the right to let our little observation be known? If we are true to the friendship, I think we do. Constructive criticism if you will. What one sees looking on the side line. Making one be aware of the not so obvious.
Yea for me, criticism hard for me to handle but if I ponder long enough and consider the source in which it came~need to evaluate it. We all want to be better, look better and feel better. If someone who loves you see something worth taking a look~don't we owe that to them? I think so.
Oh much more pondering...

Five Days but Who's Counting
Well I'm standing at the door step of one of my goals that I have set. To run St Pat Race. It is only 5 days away and I have trained hard for it. I have ran 3 days consecutive of 4miles and knew i could;ve ran more. Feelings and emotions flow thru me as I run. If you knew my past I was not a runner. Would have laughed if someone told me that one day you will run. And love it to boot. No way.
Has it always been so simple to just set a goal and obtain it. Why now does that seem so simple. What happened? I know I wasn't strucked by lightening. Why now does everything seem possible?
Attitude! Pure and simple. Believe me~people see it too. They even can smell it. Attitude can make the difference in a look to a hello. I have witness it. If you don't have it, you get passed by everytime. I speak only of the positives though. Negatives, we won't even go there. I am trying to avoid that at all costs.
Asking you to think about your life goals~do they need some resetting? Attitude~do you have it? Positive energy~want to feel it? Yea I do. More pondering! Seems to be something I do best!

Should I Stay ....Go?
Oh, how many times we think this; I've stayed to long. Knowing when the time is right to leave. That is the tricky thing. I think I know when, when it is albout me. When my needs have been meant and lessons learned. But what about when it is not about me? Do I wait ample time to make sure others have learned all they needed to? Is it even my job to know when that time is?
Reasons, seasons and lifetimes, I talk of them often. I get that. But what if the ones in your life~don't. Do we stick around until they say "hey I got it, move on". What if we don't really want to go yet? We found a comfort that we haven't felt in a long time. Is it ok to just hover there? Is it doing any good for us or even the person who needed to get something out of us?
Much to ponder. Looking for the signs. Knowing when the time is right. When to walk away and know it will all be ok. Some of the hardest things for me.

Call Me A Blogger
Like that's a bad thing. I think not. For many years, I have been told by many people~journal. I use to think what good will that do? Write down all my thoughts, feelings hopes and dreams. And where does that get you? No where I thought. Wrong!
I have grown so much in writing this little diddy. I read quite a few of my loved ones everyday and see the growth and experiences that they are going through and it really makes you think~How would I do this or would I even do that?
I am also learning that I have a few faithful that follow my random thoughts. I admit that they are random at times. I think alot when Im running and when I first wake up. It is crazy what ones thinks at 4 in the am. But that is the time that I am at my best. The house is so quiet and peaceful. I somehow reset for the day. Recapping the day before and trying to make sense of it all. What I did good and what I wish I could go back and do all again.
Speaking of do over? Have you ever wished you could go back and redo that in which you have done? May be say something just a little bit differently. Who's to say that you can't? Sometimes a second explanation can make the world of difference.
Lately I have been saying what is on my mind to those who mean alot to me. Sharing how I view them and what they have come to be in my life. You just don't know when your time is up. I want show and tell those I love what they mean too me and my life is forever changed because they are in my life. Life is short! Are you happy? Are you where you want to be? Are you with the one you want to be with? Do they know it?
Random thoughts in my head. Peace and love.

When Doubt Creeps In
Lately, I have felt that I can do anything. Give me a challenge and Im your man. But what happens when "the what if's I can't come to play"? The hill that some how is viewed as a mountain. Is it that~or is it my view from which I stand?
That requires some thought. What if determination is not the only requirement to obtain a certain goal? Determination, yea I have it. But what about the things that I can not control? I have to let it go. Let it come to me, if you will.
Patience, not one of my strong points. Working on it. Very hard concept for me. Strong willed (some might call it bullheadedness), I like strong willed. I am not one who likes to wait for any thing. But sometimes waiting is the key for what is best for Denise. Don't settle for less because you just don't know that if you wait one more day the out come could be difference between getting a taste or eating the whole damn pie.
Good things are happening. They are all around me. I receive them and let them flow through me. I also try to give them back to others in my life. Strive for the positive. We choose what we receive. I choose living well.

Deep in Thought
Well I think that I am coming down from an oblivious high. I knew it would happen and I ran with it as long as I could. Why would you want that feeling to leave? Every thing was beautiful and bright and definitely no negatives.
Well not saying that I am entering into a negative phase, I am not. But I think it is time to step back and ponder choices~ones I have made and ones that are yet to be determined.
Clearly exercise and eating healthy is one of the for most. I believe this one has kept the positive energies going. I have seen a few bad habits start to creep back in. I acknowledge them as such and now I will reset and eliminate those.
Personal growth on where I am going and where do I want to be? I have some definite thoughts on where I see myself in a day, a month and a year. I have an idea of who and what I want in my life.
It all works out,for the best I might add. Once again we are all where we should be and with whom we should be with at this very moment. Embrace those and thank them for being there. (To those who are in my life, thank you and I wouldn't have wanted any other way!) Learn from what they say and do. It is a give and take.
I continue to stay the course in which I started eleven months ago. Growing stronger physically, mentally and spiritually. You have been invited~grow with me.

No I m not an Insomniac!
Well a few of my faithful readers have commented on the time in which I write my blog. No I don't get up at 1 or 2am and think I need to write in my blog. Getting up at 4am to work out is enough for me. Energy is high but not nutso.
Well if you know me, computers are not my thing. Nor the techiness of them. But with a little research, I figured out how to make the pacific time go to eastern. (Yea and hi5!) Believe me, that is big in my world. I am learning little by little about all those things that I have very little interest in. Growing, expanding my horizon, if you will.
Sleep these days seem to be hard to come by though. Not sure if it is new found energies or the fact that spring is just around the corner. I can smell it and it hypes me. Bike season is a month away. Hopefully I will be able to pull it out sooner than that.
Well that is all I got today. The boys are wrestling in State tournaments today. I know that they will do their best. Mom will stand proud and cheer them on. Happy weekend!
