Loving Life

I love my life!  I love my family, friends, coworkers, my house, my accomplishment, my goals.... I could keep going on!  Thanksgiving is a good time to reassess things, make sure you are on the right track. I believe I am on the right track, I live for my goals.  My goals are me, who I am.  My friends it is time to do your homework, check and make sure that you are on the right track that your goals accurately depict you.  Live, Love, and Be Happy. Enjoy Thanksgiving, enjoy the day God gave to you! God Bless. :)

Let Your Heart Lead

My heart is making me do this, write this, become this.  Please bear with me.  It will be worth your time, your heart will be happier in doing so.  Mine is. 

"What ever does not destroy me, makes me stronger." ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart." ~John Heywood

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship." ~Louisa May Alcott

"When the world says "Give Up", Hope whispers "Try It One More Time" ~Author Unknown

These quotes all have the same theme.  My favorite boot camp quote was "Keep on, Keepin' on!"  My Petty Officer would chant this to us as we were on the deck, doing push ups, jumping jacks or other forms of exercise well past our limits.  Or at least what we perceived to be our limits.  I graduated from boot camp to realize, that we can endure anything with the right motivation.  Sometimes you push yourself, sometimes someone has to put their boot up your ass, but none the less You are motivated!  In the end, if you want something, you will succeed, you will find a way and your heart will be happy!

Opening Day Lesson

Sorry no huge buck pics, not even a doe pic to show.  A lesson learned to share though.  Like I said, I am new to this whole hunting thing. (Its a good excuse, right?)  I walked in and got all settled in. Roasty toasty in the 17 degree morning, I can see my breath as the sun begins to rise.  My heartbeat starts to increase in anticipation, as the sun crests the horizon I start to hear shots being fired.  Any moment now, I smile.  I hear movement near where I came in.  A snort,he stomps his feet. He huffs and then..... nothing. 
Whats wrong?  Why didn't he come in?  This replayed to my amazement 4 times yesterday morning.   Yes 4 times I heard this.  By the 2nd time I knew they caught my scent.  I should have moved then.  I didn't. I stuck it out hoping I'd catch them as they tried to slink through.  That never happened though.  Today I will be moving my stand.  Sad.  It was a good spot, until I ruined it.  From now on, I will give trails a wide berth.  Lesson learned.
