Yeah,

I tend to be a disaster magnet. Hitting my neon head-on a guard rail after a touron cut me off on the turn pike. Eased the car in to the docs office. Already had an appointment why wait in the ER? Then in July I finished the car off in the pouring rain when the car in front of me slammed his brakes on at a green light and no one in front of him! Then dropped the bike on the ankle in March. Not, even gonna get into the heart problem, Crohn's disease, and other medical issues.

I don't consider myself strong but God has watched over me and taken good care of me. Was a rough weekend my glucose went nuts, and cortisol dropped. Word of advice never speak with a psychotherapist when your glucose drops under 50! You don't make sense and then they want to send you places not good. Could not get an IV line in so the ER doc had to do a central line in my shoulder OUCH! Then they say sorry we can't give you anything for pain and neausea because your bp is too low!

So, Teek I'm lucky to be alive but I'd like to be a bit healthier so I could love my moto and my MTB a little more! Guess God got a kick out of putting a krapped out heart in a person who loves to be so physically active!

Hi Mary,

What's important is that you have so much "gratitude in your attitude", because science is now finally proving that our thoughts affect our bodies on a molecular level. So that means we can help our bodies heal by not only taking good care of ourselves but thinking of ourselves with kindness and compassion, as well as being thankful for every little thing.

It seems to me that you are doing your best to make everything count, and to enjoy yourself even within your limitations. Yeah, God has a warped sense of humor.    Just remember that everyone has their own limitations, and lots of times they aren't visible. There's a saying something like if you put a bunch of people in a big circle, and everyone could take all their burdens off of their shoulders and throw them in the center, then choose from that pile someone else's stuff, most everyone would take their own stuff back. I don't know if that's because we're more used to our own stuff though!

I'm sorry that you are having health issues and had to go through so much discomfort, especially in the last few days! Hang in there, and try re-imagining yourself as not being a disaster magnet!    Seriously though, when stuff like all the bad stuff that could happen to me runs through my head, I instantly cancel that image and rerun it as everything being fine, whatever that would take, even divine intervention. Like my hubby asked me, how did I not go face first into the concrete, didn't I see the wall coming? And I said yeah, but I looked through the arches, and maybe I went where I looked... stuck my face through and into the air, even though my head hit both sides.. so when I remember it, cause it's still popping up now and then, I remember it that way, rather than imagining all the ways I could have had my whole face crushed. I am aware of it, but I don't dwell on it, because I don't want to manifest it. I think maybe it helps.


I took a look at the Bianchi Ducati, genius marketing... it's gorgeous too. I guess if Ford can make a Harley-Davidson pickup truck...

Definitely genius marketing, and of course the standard Italian price tag Seriously, I've seen S4R's for sale for less than the asking price of the bike set up on shamal wheels and record components.

meh dont get me started on italian pricing. some of it i think is BS
