I'm very fortunate. I feel blessed every day as I go through the process of waking up, going to the gym, and then returning. I know that my biggest worries non-existent when compared with those of many others. I recognize that happiness resides within, that it's not possible for genuine happiness to originate outside of one's being. Depending upon one's relationship with the outside world, outside events can affect happiness, but they never create it. I know that if the important people in my life are no longer there, I'll have happiness that still resides in my heart. It may wane and even dwindle, but it's always present. It's up to one's self to stoke the fire and build the spark into a blazing flame, standing powerfully and proudly upright.

My little baby doll is married. How did this happen? It seems like she's too young and this all happened way too fast, but it also seems like it took forever to get here. I love her so much, and I'm glad to see her happy. I wish only good things for her and her marriage. She's very special, and I'm excited for her that she's beginning a new journey with the special guy in her life. Little Roo, I'll love you forever, and even though thinking about your new life makes me sad and teary-eyed, I'm very happy for you. I hope to see you soon.

Stretching is great. It's amazing how incredibly good I feel after stretching. I recommend that everyone try to stretch every day or, at least, stretch whenever you get some time to enjoy it. You can stretch while working, waiting in line, or standing during idle time. Do something to get up and get moving. Our past was once our future. If you look at the world as if there's no present (every notion of feeling in the present is now a past idea), you're only living for the future. We all have the ability to affect our future. Don't worry what it'll be like. At the very least, you can make it better. You can plan anything for it and watch it come true. Will what you choose build you up or break you down?

I'm now another year older. I actually sort of feel as though I'm 24. I think it's gonna be a good year. It's already been one. I've been living my benmingnian (I recommend lookin' in fortune cookies) this year, living in the Year of the Dog in which I was born. We bark loud and loyally.

No regrets or going back
Only hard-earned sweating dripping over
A bright future
