Oh Ouch!

Here ya go the day started with these:
"You can't fulfill your destiny on theory . . . It takes WORK!

" What you believe doesn't amount to much unless it causes you to climb out of the grandstand and onto the playing field."

"The only time a lazy person succeeds is when he tries to do nothing."

And . . .
"God made the birds and the worms. But he didn't drop the worms in the bird's nest."

Talk about convicting stuff! So I head off to work with good intentions. Bent on be more (better) than average. Ta da! So I volunteer at work to go to a different area and look for the dead mouse that someone says they can smell. Well they were right. It stinketh! And . . . fifty 40lb. bags, two dead mice, cleaning up a ton of bird seed, 5-6 bags with mouse holes in them and a whole lot of bad smell later and I have accomplished what no one else really wanted to do. (You know that smell seemed stuck in my nose all day.)

But here's what I learned. Sometimes being a bit more than average means taking on what others will not or do not want to do. Going the extra mile so to speak. And you know what else? It will get you noticed. I was affectionately nicknamed "The Verminator" today. But I was also named team member of the week in my department, someone who did something extra.

So I guess I'm feeling pretty good about the fight today. A small victory is in hand. AND I can definitely say it fells pretty good. Now to translate it into other areas of my life. I think I'll drag this over into exercising and diet tomorrow. Whoa there now. Easy. Well you know what I mean.

Take the small victories and use them to accomplish a little more. Never give up! Never surrender! There's a long year ahead.

See you tomorrow.:>)

It's All About Our Kids

It's our Kids

I read recently that - Our children are our future. They always have been and always will be our future.

This of course begs the question: How are we insuring our future?

Bill Gates is starting an new initiative to get kids to concentrate on the importance of school and doing well. He is Quoted as saying,
"Only one-third of American high school students graduate with the skills necessary to succeed in college and the nation's workplaces'

Part of the problem is lack of concentration and focus. At Vemma they have recognized that and with Vemma Next and Verve, there are two products aimed at proper nutrition and energy for our kids. After all it's about the future.

Check out these nutritional energy options to help your kids stay focused and on task at http://stepone.vemma.com. You'll be pleasantly surprised. And they're risk free with a "30 day empty bottle money back guarantee."

Make it a great day - Geoff and Pam
