Good morning to the mountain side! Hope all is well with everyone this morning.
Personally, I have several issues this morning. I got a long day ahead of me & need to get to the gym this afternoon as well. I got a little too aggressive on the treadmill Monday & gave myself a nasty blister on the heal of my right foot. I drained it, but man it has been sore. If I step on it just right, it just shoots pain up my leg, but I can't let that stop me. If I can't stand the treadmill I will get on the bike, or rowing machine, or elliptical, or whatever I can tolerate. My neck won't "pop" either. The pressure is killing me & keeps me constantly rolling my head around like a bobble head doll trying to pop it. Going to the chiropractor today, so hopefully he can do something. I was told by the body shop that what the insurance company is willing to pay & what the repair will cost is going to be close & that all insurance companies wait until they have invoices in hand before making the call on totaling a Corvette. So, I got that to look forward to. Good news is, I looked it up on NADA & it worth much more now than I paid for it; even the low mileage added $3,600 in value. But enough about my woes.
Let's get out there & throw down on this Throwback Thursday. Seek to take strides up the mountain today, by any means necessary. No matter the obstacles in your way, find a way to make progress on your journey this day. Don't let the trials & negativity that may be rotating around you infect your positvity. Weather the storm my friends. Be the beacon atop the lighthouse. As in the lyrics of the old ELO (Electric Light Orchestra for you youngun's); "DON'T BRING ME DOWN!!!" Be the straw that stirs the drink.
Just go out & spread the positive energy of your climb today gang. Be infectious to your family & friends. Let them see the light in you stoked by your torch of motivation.
God I'm corny when I'm grumpy. I am saying these words here, only because I need to hear them myself; not trying to be preachy to no one other than me. I have got to put Mr. Grumpy back in the stockade & let Mr. Goodfellow out for a walk. Have a happy climb today gang!!!
In all sincerity, you all have to keep going, because you motivate me to keep going.

Don't Bring Me Down...is one of my very favorite songs to listen to as I "pound my mini-trampoline"...Hope your car settlement turns out in YOUR favor...Some how or another JW, I just have felt all along that with your VERY Positive Outlook on life, that you will be driving a Corvette again, somehow or other, before too very long (BUT not necessarily the SAME one)...I guess we shall see if I am correct OR NOT...LOL...Climbing with you, Bro...UP the MOUNTAIN...ONe step at a time...ONe step at a time....ONE STEp......:)

Wishing you the best on finding an exercise that won't aggravate your blister. Good luck with your neck and car issues. Keep climbing and don't let these minor bumps get in the way of your success. Keep climbing!

Mr. Grumpy seemed to have a message to put out to us other climbers. Thank him for me and then tell Mr. Goodfellow to get out there and make that climb with us. We need someone to show us the path. Having had four corvettes in my life, I know what they can mean to their owners. My last was a pretty little C5!

OMG, I love that song! Now it's stuck in my head. I have some really wonderful memories attached to that tune, so thanks for bringing it up. :-) I hope the Corvette settlement comes out in your favor and that your blister heals quickly. Either way, it's great when something goes wrong and we aren't reaching for the food. Great progress! *digs in next to you on the mountainside*

Well, Mr Grumpy, Mr. Goodfellow, & I had a nice neck cracking party at the chiropractor, got a haircut, & hit the gym. Pulled five miles on the treadmill, all be it at a slower pace than usual due to the undeveloped twin I have growing on my heel. So, as DON'T BRING ME DOWN has played over & over in my head today; it served it's purpose & kept me moving. Now, if my car can pull through, this may turn out to be a good week after all.
