I found this one particularly inspiring in light of recent elections...

"The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.
The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority."

Food for thought. Have a great week!

Great News!!!

Many of you know that I started a wellness challenge this summer. Unfortunately due to Hurrican Ike I was not able to complete it with the group (it meant a trip to Washington, DC). That did not mean I gave up on the challenge - just that I was unable to complete it with the group.

I accepted this challenge due to some bad test results I received in July. So, the 3 months were up and this week I had to repeat those tests. And the results are in...it has been an amazing success! My cholesterol is down from 194 last year to 140 (my triglycerides went from 200 to 100); my iron went from borderline anemic to perfect in 3 months; and, my sugar levels have dropped! Additionally, I have lost 20 pounds this year. Am I done? By no means! But if I may pat myself on the back, what a great start!!!

Thanks for all your encouragement and support! You deserve a big hand! Have a great weekend. I will be contemplating my next goal.

Gasoline "Wars"

I am amazed and ecstatic at the gasoline prices these days. It's almost impossible to imagine that less than 2 months ago prices were double what they are now. I am curious if everyone's is as low as around my house. So...tell me (1) what is the cheapest price you have seen and (2) what is the cheapest price you have paid for regular gasoline lately. Be sure and tell where this was, too, so the rest of us can take advantage! I'll start...

Buccee's, Hwy 35 Bypass @ FM517, Alvin - $1.94/gallon. Cheapest I've seen and paid.
