Are You Passionate?

Ask yourself this question.  Am I passionate about getting out of bad shape?  You will have to answer the question.  If you

are in an adequate or a high state of physical fitness you will probably dismiss the question.  The American society today is

going to have to decide how they will answer this question.  Many Americans are severely out of physical shape.  Many people are passionate about many issues in their lives.

You might be passionate about:

1.  You career

2.  You family

3.  Your service to the community

4.  Your spiritual life

I challenge you this week to think about getting passionate about getting out of bad shape.  After you have thought about it and

decided, then you will need to take action.  Start your journey by taking a quick inventory.

• How many hours of sleep do you get per night on the average?
• How many servings of fruits and vegetables do you eat a day?    
• When is the last time you have had a physical examination?
• When is the last time you took a walk, a jog, or a bicycle ride?

I would encourage you this week to spend a few minutes reflecting on how you can begin to make some simple improvements in

your lifestyle. You can start this week getting out of bad shape.

   Kayaking Saturday on Pensacola Bay as far as the eye can see.  Can you feel the cool breeze?

   I happened upon two large herons, a large hawk, several fish and some peace and quiet.
