Time to Stop Talking

I’ve been talking for a month now about starting my exercise program again, and what I’ve noticed is that I have a pattern of putting this off. I’m not sure why I don’t just ‘do it’, but instead find a reason why I don’t want or feel like exercising. I KNOW that I feel better and more energetic when I spend time working out and getting in some cardio time on the elliptical, but yet I find myself making excuse after excuse.

It’s time to stop talking and start doing. The road to progress begins with a single step- and it’s time I took it.

Earlier today I was chatting with my favorite (and only) brother on the phone when I received a message from Desere. She asked if she could stop by for coffee and even though today is a PJ kind of day- my answer was yes. She let me know she’d be here in a half hour and I finished talking to Matt and eventually said goodbye. He arrived at work and I had a few things I needed to get done before Desere arrived.

We talked about many things, but I asked about something that neither of us had thought about in a while. That part of the conversation was brief, but when she got home, she sent me a message asking if I had ESP. When I asked her why- she said she’d heard something about the very thing we’d mentioned in conversation. It was definitely ironic, and who knows- maybe a little ESP.

It’s no secret that I talk to mom on the phone every day and in fact, most days several times a day. We are all planning a trip later this year to places that have yet to be determined but since it’s going to happen during hurricane season, diddy is looking at honda generators and thinking about replacing the one that he’s had since the late 70’s. I think he bought it right before hurricane Fredrick in 1979, so I’d say that he’s gotten his money’s worth out of it, but he said it’s definitely time for something new.

I probably would have replaced it long ago, simply because once a hurricane has hit- there are no generators to be found for a reasonable price. This will also give them peace of mind if they are away and one hits. At least then my brother or someone else in the family can take care of things without having to worry about mechanical issues. Some people think it’s premature- but it’s all part of living in the South.
