Sometimes I just make choices that don't lead me to where I want to be.  I've been watching this ball game on tv and figuring all along that 'my' team would win.  But I'm not stupid.  There is no way now so I turned it off and now all of a sudden I am getting tired fast so I want to end my day and get to bed.  (Maybe I'm the real jinx!!)
You know, I read what I write and last night I wrote that I had been a slacker as far as my exercise routine.  So tonight I forced myself to do a full 60 minutes on my stationary bike.  It wasn't too hard so I guess I hadn't lost too much but maybe it does take more energy then I think.  Anyway, I usually feel the benefits more the next day, so we'll see how I feel tomorrow.  I have written before: "I confess that I am affected by the climate."  What that means to me is that I am human and the things that happen do have an affect on me.  I sometimes let it affect me too much and get down on myself or feel badly for a while.  Like right now.  I did want 'my' team to win, but that is certainly one of those things that I have absolutely no control over.  It shouldn't bother me, but it does.  Usually a night's sleep puts it behind me and generally I wake up in a positive mood.  I try to be wise enough to see it for what it is and just move on.  How can I let something affect me that doesn't affect me, if you know what I mean.  There's enough disappointment in the things that I do have some control over that I can't afford to take on the other stuff. 

I got on a website tonight about famous Mormons.  It had some interesting information.  Lots to be disappointed over with people who were once and are not now.  It makes me sad.  How can something that is so very important to me be so unimportant to them.  But it is interesting to read a little of why they make their choices, and most seem to know the choices that they make.  But then it also shows the value of the gospel.  If it were so easy and didn't actually require anything then it wouldn't give much in return, would it?  I wish something more for all of 'them', but there again is something that I have absolutely no control over.
