Have you ever sat down and wondered what your life was worth? You know, if the whole if you died today what would people really be saying after you were cold and in the ground and nobody was worried about upsetting anyone. Would they say that you were a great person? That is kind of a lame response really. It is a blanket statement for “you werent really a great person but they dont want to say anything bad because you werent really a bad person so we will just cover everything with a blanket and make it all look the same.” Would they say that you worked hard but you only worked hard for yourself? “He was a great worker and bought himself all the toys and fancy cars he wanted.” “He was the man or woman as the case may be!” Or it could be more like “he was an asshole and I couldnt stand him and he never did anything for anyone.” (that would be my ex :) )
I dont want a blanket thrown over my life as a description! I dont want people to have to find nice words to say because that is what you do. I want to know that my life was spent helping other people and making their better. I know it sounds cliche but not very many people actually do it!! Most people say they want to but first they have to accomplish this and that and get their kids through college. How do you know you have that much time? I want people to remember me as giving, a truly giving person. The bible tells us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It also tells us that there are those who scatter and yet gain even more unlike the one who withholds but comes to poverty. (proverbs 11:24)
I dont know any of the people involved in Relentless personally. I have never meet any of them and I am sure some would ask why I would do something for children that are in states other than my own. The answer, because I believe in what they are doing! God doesnt care where the families live, He only cares that I am willing to help! God doesnt have state lines, He is everywhere!! He loves us all and He wants us to just love and give! When I die, I want people to be able to honestly say that I gave all that I could and never held back!!
All that being said, I ask you to please consider donating a few dollars to help me reach my goal for Relentless. It isnt about me, it is about helping those in need. I would also like to thank Bob for his very generous donation and for always taking the time to read my rambles and to leave me great comments when I need them :)

Got up this morning and headed off to the gym. Was very not motivated to be there but that is why I dont rely on motivation as my primary force to get me into the gym, it comes and goes, even within a workout.
Incline press and stuff
incline bench
*45# for 20
*45# for 10
*65# for 5
*95# for 4
*105# for 3
*115# for 2
*120# for 1
*95# for 16,15,15,15
These felt good but man, I was so slow in getting them accomplished :/ Terrible time management.
db press
*35# for 4 sets of 10
these were supposed to be db bench but there is not any shoulder work in this last program Paul did so I changed it. My shoulders suck so bad I cant let them get any worse.
bb curls
*45# for 35
Total loser and it was 6 by the time I got done with these so only did one set and didnt even get to my db rows. Such a loser!!
incline situps
*2 sets of 20
It was a pretty solid day at the clinic. We only had about 5 regular surgeries and then a fracture repair. The afternoon was busy and it ended with placing a booty cast on a mare with a bad heel bulb laceration.
yesterday we lasered it.
I lasered again today before I put on the booty cast.
Cast on and baby wants mom to get up so he can get a drink!
I want to ask all of you to please say a prayer for my dear friend Lupe. She is in surgery right now for ovarian cancer and it has spread to the liver. It is a very aggressive form of cancer but I am trusting God for complete restoration! Please pray that Gods will be done in her life and that He would strengthen her and her family as they go through this great valley! Thank you>
