______________________________

As we all know, today is a very sad anniversary, so I just want honor those who have given their lives, either as citizens in the wrong place at the wrong time or soldiers who gave their lives in their quest to defeat Osama bin laden and his thugs.

Thank you!

No need to say any more on this topic.

On a personal note: Today is the 1st anniversary of my decision to get healthier and lose some weight. Despite a difficult summer, I have succeeded in losing 55-60 pounds.

I have been maintaining, more or less, for the past two months. It's been tough, though.

So, today, I am reaffirming my decision to keep at my plan and get going on those last 25 pounds, but still in a healthy manner.

I have worked too hard to backslide into unhealthy habits.

I'll be making some changes on this blog, including the title and design. It is clear that I won't be updating this space daily, so I have found a better name (and matching domain name), which I will share with you later.

I have decided that I would rather write fewer higher quality articles and more meaningful content. I may also be moving some articles from some of my other blogs.

ThoughtForTheDay.us will still bring you here, so if you have bookmarked this page, worry not!

Later!

WSUX -- WSUX.com _________________ This is NOT a porn post; sux is simply a term that means to stink, reek, and all things that might be terrible. There is current thought that AI sux/sucks; perhaps it does or perhaps it does not. Question: Is the actual radio station KSUX considered to go against community standards? Would you put their website behind a warning? I hope not. Asking for a friend... I recently acquired this domain; I’m not sure what I want to do with it. Sell it? Develop it? Set up a humor website? A review website about all things that “suck”? Write a humorous book using WSUX as a title? Obviously, for fiction, the domain suggests a dysfunctional East coast radio or TV station, perhaps both. There is a real radio station in Sioux City, Iowa, with KSUX as its call letters; it makes a kind of sense, given that the airport designation for Sioux City’s Gateway Airport is “Sux.” (I grew up in Sioux City, but the Sux designation came about long after I moved away

Close to Goal

Close to Goal ______________ Do not be in a hurry to succeed. What would you have to live for afterwards? Better make the horizon your goal; it will always be ahead of you. – William Makepeace Thackeray _________________ I am always close to goal because I have set small achievable goals that can be reached quickly. I may have a large goal in mind, but if, on a day-to-day basis, I concentrate on the small goal, the big goal will eventually be achievable. When it comes to weight loss, setting a large goal is a fool’s mission. For example, saying, “I’m going to lose 100 pounds in six months” is unrealistic, and sets one up for failure. Even setting small weight loss goals can be frustrating, given the day-to-day scale variables. But saying, “For one week, I will eat in such a way as to facilitate good health and sensible weight loss. I  can  control what I feed my body, but I  won’t  worry about the number on the scale. If I eat well and use fewer calories than
