10 AM: Boxing/Kickboxing (only Tim, Frank, Lloyd, and Jaris were there)
12PM: Grappling
This evening I ran 3 miles at Golds and stretched. Tomorrow is going to be brutal.
-------------------------
Most of your boundaries and limits are self created by your mind. Society locks you into its grid of pre-built sidewalks, infrastructure, separate rooms, and a 'proper' way to maneuver through town and life.
Today, Britnie, a good friend of mine, braided my hair for my upcoming fight. During that time we talked a lot about living contrary to what society defines as "success." I told her stories about Africa...and she mentioned her long term plans of going there to visit a penpal. I have not met too many people that are like-minded in the pursuit of enjoying life and taking risks if need be. Surviving without the comforts we are afforded daily. The things you own end up owning you. This is a topic I will elaborate on more in another blog entry. Its really one of the defining topics of the book I'm writing, so it would be redundant if I went on and on about it here.
She did a really good job, didn't she? I like it
Since I'm getting up very early tomorrow to workout with Jory, and THIS time I'm not oversleeping... I'll leave you guys with a short note:
The sun rises every day, but how often do you take the time to notice it? Have you ever felt like it was something so far away as to be nearly impossible?

When was the last time you felt a sense of true, deep appreciation for something? When we're stripped of the nonsense we surround our modern lives with, the things that really matter in our lives are very simple. The warmth of the sun, the glow of a loved one's smile, laughing uncontrollably with your friends.
Take a moment today to recognize that and truly appreciate something. (To be continued tomorrow...)
