Victory over Cancer

I have an amazing sister. For the second year in a row she has rode in the Little Red Riding Hood bike tour. This is a group of 2600 women that peddle a bike for 80 miles. She is amazing.

She started in Wellsville UT and half way took her to Lewiston UT, where they are given lunch and a little rest. (not long, you don't want to start cramping up). Then back on the road, weaving through Cache Valley back to Wellsville.

Huntyr did not like the wolf - He was scared

And she is off

Lucky for me my house sits on 600 S in Logan that is the rode that is the long stretch for her. I told her to tell me when she was at the pit stop in Benson so that I could start watching for her to come by. This year Rog waited out on the street with me so that I didn't feel like the $2.00 whore I was last year. I did get one cat call (thanks Charee). She was tired when she got to my street but only stopped long enough to blow her nose. Then she was off again

Here she is for her stop passing by my house

Catching a last drink before she is off again

We headed to Wellsville shortly after she left our house she only had 16 miles left. Once in Wellsville Rog and I waited with Josh and Huntyr for her to cross the finish line.

She did it in 2 1/2 hours faster than last year.

Way to go Pookie, thanks for riding for my "Victory over Cancer"

She crosses the finish line

And gets Lai'd with Flowers

Kristina, Huntyr & Josh

Today I Will Make A Difference

I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful.

I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters.

I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark.

Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom.

I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant.

I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving.

Today I will make a difference.I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously.

No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble...I will get up. It's OK to fail...I will rise again.

Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships.

Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.

I think if we all thought that this on a daily basis we would be much happier people.
