First cutting of the grass/moss in the front yard. We tend to slog away here for weeks in spring.<br />My website is done, except for some tweaking that needs to take place. All the mp 3 files for guided visualizations are up and running; and ready to be downloaded by athletes. Take a look. Lots of good running visualizations for your upcoming outdoor season! Plus other sports.<br />I continue to interview current and retired elite athletes for my new book. I love interviewing people and that is one of the things I enjoy most about writing books.<br />Tips for the day:<br />Refocus and stay in the moment. Be present, be aware, be awake. Your future is now!<br />Dr. Kay<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9146591740755372813-4142409782333563997?l=drkayporter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>DrKayPorterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10443683591242330066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146591740755372813.post-87155636105524934632011-02-10T15:11:00.000-08:002011-02-10T15:12:45.700-08:00<div class="reviewbody" style="text-align: left;"> <p style="text-align: left;">Well, here we go again!!!

If you are reading this, you must be blessed as well. (you know how to use a computer and have spare time)<br />What are you grateful for? I'm grateful that I can still work out and breathe deeply; that the sun is shining in Eugene today and that I am healthy and happy.<br />Take a minute to make a mental or physical list of what you are grateful for today. Life is meant to be enjoyed and lived fully. Seize the day, indeed! Go for a walk, a run and enjoy your family, friends and even strangers. Happiness is an inside job. So choose thoughts that make you feel happy and loved. And remember to forgive yourself and others.<br />Blessings today on Thanksgiving in the USA. A new day and new hope for the future!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9146591740755372813-7120499261181966557?l=drkayporter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>DrKayPorterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10443683591242330066noreply@blogger.com0
