HAPPY BIRTH DAY MARK, I AM HEADING BACK TO THE DR.

Well today is fellow blogger Mark's 53rd birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK and where the heck have you been lately. Since he was off Friday and Monday I hope he isn't taking his birthday off as well. My foot has started to feel better since I took that colchocine yesterday, the pain is no wear near as bas and the swelling has gone down quite a bit. I am going back the Dr. this afternoon to see if he can give medication called Allopurinol, it is suppose to prevent future gout attacks in the long run but it may take several months to get the full benefits of this medication. It is already 15 degrees warmer than it was yesterday morning and believe 15 degrees is a big difference. Also I finally got a good night sleep last night, the two nights prior there was a whole lot of tossing and turning. Have a nice day, MICKEY

Nutrition Tip
Six ounces of yogurt promises to help protect your heart, boost your immune system and improve your digestion. Cup for cup, yogurt provides more bone-building calcium that milk.

Get a purpose
If you're not clear about your purpose on this day, random events, distractions and circumstances beyond your control will impose a purpose upon you. You'll end up spending your precious time in the service of things that won't bring any value or fulfillment.

In contrast, when you're solidly connected to a personally meaningful purpose, you're able to focus on making real progress. Though the same problems, frustrations and distractions will come, they will not have the power to overwhelm or consume you.

The more fully you understand why you wish to do something, the more clearly you'll see how to do it. Strong, solid, meaningful reasons will ignite the energy to create worthwhile and lasting achievements.

It is well worth the time and effort necessary to understand why you seek what you seek. When you know why, anything is within your reach.

To get maximum results from your efforts, look beyond the outer concerns of what you're doing. Look at why you've chosen to do it.

Give this day a real, honest purpose that truly means something to you. And you'll build value that continues long after the day is over.
