Food
I've been craving for something "stir-fried" lately. I had teriyaki vegetables and white rice for dinner tonight and that didn't quite hit the spot. I'm trying to get myself back into working out, or at least do some quick exercises everyday to become physically active. Staying consistent is the biggest challenge. I have the necessary tools for working out and it's a shame that it just sits there in the basement collecting dust. Nathan is more active than me. I might ask him to teach daddy how to stay active.
Theresa is on her 2nd week of the "Special K" diet, which consists of 2 bowls of cereal - morning and dinner - and a sensible lunch w/ fruit snacks in between. I truly admire my wife for doing this. She is so disciplined. I tried to entice her to eat outside of her diet menu, but I tell ya, she's one strong-willed gal. On the other hand, that just leaves me more food to eat and more food means more calories, extra pounds, and a jelly belly. I think I need to go on a Special K diet. Maybe not. I'll just exercise.

More to this life
Okay. I got the title of this posting from Steve Curtis Chapman's "More To This Life" song. I'm not trying to steal his line. Listen to his song. You'll like it. Enough for the plug.
I believe there's more to this life than just waking up everyday and going along life's predicaments. Yes, life can be brutal and unforgiving, but just realizing the fact that there is more to be thankful for than just griping and complaining about every single thing should be enough to free someone from going absolutely insane. During breakfast this morning, I told my wife that I'm glad I didn't wake up worrying where to get the next meal, or feeling depressed due to a job loss, or feeling more depressed because my doctor has revealed that I have an incurable disease. My point is that we complain and worry about so many things that we tend to overlook the blessings that we already have, such as good health, our children, our families, our jobs - even if it's less desirable, thank God you can bring home a paycheck, house, cars, food, etc.
Just by realizing this small thing, it's good enough to get me through the day without being a grouch in the end. Life's miseries and unfortunate events will always be there waiting for us with welcoming arms. I just take a different path and hug someone close to my heart.
