MAY IS YOUR BEST MONTH EVER
Make plans for yourself to learn something.
Don't quit as that is all that matters. Stay with it no matter what!
If you are tired of starting over, then stop quitting.
To make our way, we must have firm resolve, persistence, tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up.

I lost my darling cat, Mr. Wilks one year ago in May, so I remember what a fighter he was right up to the end as he was 16. Never a better cat ever.
In "The Power of NOW" Eckhart Tolle teaches us to live for today. If we do that, all the days of the year will add up to our success.
I've been a Sparker for five years and certainly should have been at my goal by now, but.......BUT......life happened and like Roger Gould, M.D. says in "Shrink Yourself" that stress is the number one reason we REGAIN pounds. True. Very true. Had my Gallbladder out on 10-14-09 and all went well. Two stones the size of Golf Balls, which I'm sure came from all my yo-yo dieting, but I'm doing well. (I regained 27#, as I went back to eating carbs.) But I got it back off.
I'm happy for all my Sparker Friends, who have been so wonderful to me and to give Nathan encouragement.
My fifth year goal is to EXERCISE daily now that I turned 63 and in my head I'm still 30.

Update on Nathan's Testicular Cancer: October 15, 2012
Nathan has been doing well since his 4 rounds of chemotherapy. His tests were "clean" so he will have more in April. They will follow him for 10 years.
