Well it looks like your blogging buddy had an emotional day yesterday.  Certainly there were lots of new posts here but I don’t see anything this morning that causes regret or embarrassment.

And it was a defining moment in terms of my blogging effort.  No need to go over that again.  But often we see in life that when one door shuts another one opens. Dont’ we?   And I have discovered a blogger that makes me feel right at home.  If you asked him about Google I doubt he would say that it is worth a second of thought.

The blog is called Unforgettable Love Story and it is needed here.  Michael is a wise soul who has much to share about life and the greater world of the spirit.

And he has a radio show with recordings in his side bar.  This is so cool.  Here it is.

I hope you will take a moment and listen.  It is a very good day when you find something this worthwhile in your travels.

Today we are going to Colonial Downs for the horse races. My beloved wife Beth tells me that it is Hooter’s Day at the races as well.  Which means what?  I have no idea.   I went to a Hooter’s Restaurant one time and witnessed some young ladies in strange looking waitress uniforms and overpriced not so great food.

I hope all of this is not going to show up at the races.  But if it does no matter.   Because I’m hopeful about taking some good photos of the horses as they race along the track.  Or they might be standing in one spot looking gorgeous so strong and so sleek.  They are powerful animals.

And the dieting and walking continue.  Yesterday’s walk was very satisfying.  I walked for an hour up and down hills and it was pretty warm and humid.  But it seemed like an effortless exercise.  Maybe it is time to increase the distance.

I may have lost a few pounds as well but I didn’t weigh myself when this all started a few weeks ago. Because this is not about losing twenty pounds and going from X to Y  weight.  This is about becoming a walking person forever.

Just like blogging is no longer about achieving a certain number of visits or views per day.  It’s about friends and finding more amazing people like Michael.  It’s about giving support to those who need it.

And it’s about moving further into photography and writing while (hopefully) becoming better at both.  Friends.  Art.  Stats.  Which one needs to be downgraded if you are a fifty something year old guy looking for the good things in life?

Have a great day.
