The Letter "P"

Pity Party
The past week or so I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself. I will randomly complain about the smallest things. For example, the other day as I was opening my box of cereal, I saw a moth fly out of the box. Yes, I agree that something like that is not very pleasant, but for me it was the icing on the cake for a horrific week. I threw the box in the trash with force and dumped out any other food that I thought a bug could of possibly touched. Lets just say I wasn't very much fun to be around the rest of the day. I haven't been much fun to be around at all lately. Whether discussing work, friends, dating, my age, roommates, God, the town I live in, or some small, insignificant topic, I always, ALWAYS, view the glass half empty. I haven't always been this way. Just lately. And to be honest with you, I'm really quite drained from it. I can only imagine what people are thinking when I just excessively ramble on and on about my frustrations. To be honest, I'm surprised that people still listen.

Praise
Although it has been a rough week, I am finally starting to see the sun shine through this storm. The scary thing is, compared to others, this storm was minor. It is terrifying to think how I will respond when something major comes my way. When I take a look at my life and see what all God has blessed me with, I cant help it but to continually praise Him. He continues to be faithful time and time again, and shame on me for ever doubting it.

P90X
If you don't know what this is, you need to. It is an intense DVD workout program that last for 90 days. The original plan was to do it alone. I wasn't very confident in that idea considering that any other workout routine I have tried has failed miserably. But I really do think this time is different. It has caught on in the house. 4 of us 5 room ates are doing this workout on a daily basis for an hour a day.
I am only on my 5Th day of workouts but I am hurting from my head to my toes. It will kick your butt. Only 85 more to go until I am a muscle machine.

Playoffs
Football season is here and the Dallas Cowboys are off to a great start. I know its only been one game, but I believe this is the year. Maybe not Superbowl, but I think it is the year for the playoffs. I am predicting 12-4 record with a loss in the NFC championship.

Parents
The Parents have had a rough few weeks. My mothers back continues to spasm. She is waiting on all sorts of paperwork to be done for her to have some procedures done to stop the pain. Until then, please keep her and my dad in prayer. She is in constant pain and any prayers would be much appreciated.

I've been looking at this P90X thing...looks like a pretty good deal. You'll have to let us know how that works out. I have a few other friends who are just starting to do it too.
