I just witnessed something amazing. Outside my usual starbux, a homeless man frequents. I know this because I'm in this starbux A LOT. Its one of my writing haunts.
A woman walking her dog stopped and the dog greeted and played with the man as if with a long lost friend. This is happening while dozens of people walk by ignoring the homeless man, rendering him invisible.
What does it say when a dog is more compassionate than we are?

Each school day I spend no less than 10 mins here watching my son get in some morning exercise. Its part of what we do.

For the next few months in preparation for several events, I have to lose some weight and tone. So I'm going on the shake and salad diet until the end of the year. Tomorrow is day one. It promises to be an adventure since the exercise load will only increase.

My smallest, Z is cranky and out of sorts today. Slightly ill and in need of lots of cuddles. This is nap time after a very vocal(read extremely loud crying!) afternoon that wore her out.

Every school morning Rey and I stop at my favorite bagel store for deep conversations and observations about life. Here he is in a moment of deep introspection.

On the right is weight vest. On the left are the assorted kettle bells from 10 lbs to 50 in this set. The heavier ones dwell elsewhere. Each day these are the tools of transformation.

It has always been my belief that everything originates with thought. This has been confirmed almost daily for me in the last week or so. I know I am on the cusp of amazing happenings. My thoughts align with this feeling of impending greatness, knowing that in short order miracles will be unleashed, happiness will abound and joy will overflow.

Zoya at almost 5 months old. Sits up and stands assisted. I remember when she was born and now she is amazingly aware and becoming more present each day.

My youngest boy started school this week. Its amazing how quickly time can pass if we are not present to it. He looks dapper and is always excited to go to school.

So I have been running 2 miles everyday. In addition to the series of 100: pushups, bicycles, squats and shin kicks. My knuckles( I do 300 punches on a makiwara daily) are currently mangled from tree work, who knew trees were so hard lol? The twist to all of this is that I recently purchased a weightvest from weightvest.com( high quality vest worth every dollar). The vest I purchased allows me to go up to 50lbs, but I started at 30lbs and I'm working my way up. So to ramp up the training I'm doing everything with the vest on, I thought I was in shape until I started this a month ago. Will post the results over time. Stay tuned.
