QUOTES from the Sandbox ~ Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019

By
Real Estate Agent with TEAMCONNECT REALTY - (407) 394-9766

Hi  Everyone!  Making a quick pit stop at the 'Sandbox' to drop off quotes
for Tuesday.  I am always looking for inspiration and motivating thoughts
to help me reach my goals. 

I really like the day of the week, 'Tuesday.'  I also like Monday - fresh, new
page of the week, and 
Tuesday - another chance at a fresh page for the week,
and also 
Wednesday - 'Hey, Jane, only the middle of the week...you still have
time' and all is not lost.'   
However, once it gets to Thursday, I do feel added

pressure on what I was to accomplish during the week and the walls start
closing in.  Yup, I still keep working, but I can feel the pressure if I did not
utilize Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday wisely.  Well, it's Tuesday...a good
day...

Physical Therapy has turned a page - positive...well, whataUno?!?  Guess
the back and hips can open up and unlock if you strengthen your 'CORE'
power-posture and reawaken unused muscles.  I love my two new silver Grey
75 centimeter exercise balls.  I now hear my body calling me to exercise, and
telling me that the exercise has become 'fun.' I walk each day and I am sooooo
much better.  And today is Tuesday.......It is a new week.......And I am ahead of
the week....  Love it!!! 

I am very hopeful.  Looks like I will enjoy my month of May going back home
to Waikiki...  I am thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful Week and
especially a great Tuesday!!                                                                        ~Jane

P.S.  Those of you who are sending me good thoughts and prayers, I wish to
say, 'Thank You.'  I know you are part of my success.  By the way, I am now
down 13 pounds since January 1st and the race of 20 lbs., with one of my
sons;  he is now 15 pounds lost.  But you probably remember the fable behind
this challenge race: Aesop's 'The Tortoise and the Hare.'  So I am the 'tortoise,'
but you are safe to place your bets on me.  True, nothing changed in that my
son is still the Hare, except I am a very determined, non-stopping Tortoise.  I
appreciate your support.  I can feel it.  Have a wonderful day and see you
tomorrow~ .

You rock Jane,  I need to drop 10 some time but cold weather stop my door hanging in the area and getting in 8000 steps.  Great quotes.

Hello Jane - that particular John Donne quote has been a favorite of mine forvdecades so it's an easy choice for a "vote"  from me. Here's to luaus, warm Waikiki waters and tropical yet amazingly low Cal beverages headed your way.

Hi   Will Hamm,  my son wears a 'fitbit' and almost always gets in his 10,000 steps Plus how many 'taking the steps' per day.  I do struggle in steps...  Hahaha...However, we (Dave and I) are currently just 2 pounds difference in weight loss.  Thirteen pounds might not seem like much of a loss for me, however Will, if I do that again, it will be 26 pounds lost.  And if I do it a 3rd time, it will be a loss of just under 40 pounds.

Are you home from 'Chocolate Chip Pancakes and Pecan Tassies land?'   Know you must have had a wonderful time.  And I really appreciate your supportive comment, Will.

Thank you for all your wonderful wishes,  Michael Jacobs .  I imagine living much closer to the Hawaiian Islands than  most of us, that you have made a number of trips to the islands and enjoyed many luaus.  Your choice of the John Donne quote reminded me of the Simon and Garfunkel antithesis
                   I Am a Rock;  I Am An Island... 
 years since I heard it, but....
    I am a Rock;  I am an Island -
    I touch no one and no one touches me -
    I've built a Wall...
   And a Rock feels no pain;  And an Island never cries....

I am glad you are responding well to physical therapy, Jane.  I am envious of your 13 pound weight loss.  My pounds are hanging on like lock-jawed terriers.

This one really resonated with me today Jane. It's hard to watch as mistakes are made: "Change doesn't come to someone who doesn't really want it."

Morning Jane.

The season starts next month.  I'll be getting a lot of walking in chasing that little white ball.  Hopefully I'll drop 15-20 but we'll see

Happy Wednesday, Myrl Jeffcoat, thank you for your support and being featured in the 'Old Farts Club Group'  -- love it!!  And I just  gave instructions to the 'lock-jawed terriers' that it is time to let go of their grip on you.  If you need to lose a pound or two, I just know you can do it, however, in all the pictures I have seen of you, you are beautiful ...

Happy Wednesday, Debe Maxwell, CRS!  I remember when I first read this quote;  it also resonated with me...I recall pausing and taking a few minutes to think about it:   "Change doesn't come to someone who doesn't really want it."

James Dray, you are fortunate to be able to lose some pounds on the golf course and of course, I wish you lots of good luck with the golf score and  the weight loss.  Thank you for your comment and support.  The 'Hare' in my story is my son, David, who is an avid golfer...

Thank you, Brian England, for your support and encouragement... for your belief in me.  Brian, I am finding that when some days are difficult, -- times when I crave a Dunkin Donut, a Popeye's piece of chicken, a slice of bread, some pasta, a double-dip ice cream cone, a piece of chocolate (or 2 or 3)...the kind and thoughtful support of others is able to calm the storm within. And I make it through the storm.  Thank you, my very good friend in East Valley, Az.

If you continue to not eat those things, your cravings for them will go away!

I think that's something you applied to your rehab too, Jane. You know, that ball calling you in the mornings is a change that YOU made happen because you want your rehab to go well!

And, I totally agree about the core comment - that makes all of the difference and it took me a long time to realize that. Being just over 6' tall, I understand back issues and Pilates totally changed my life - because I learned about core strengthening. 

Here's to continued progress with your rehab!

I need to follow you with some weight loss efforts. Spring is less than three weeks away.
