Didn’t do too much today (Mon), wasn’t able to get online very much since my little brother seemed to be glued to the computer. No big deal. Finished reading another book (I think that’s 3 down so far) and ran some errands.

Today/Tomorrow (tue) is going to be an interesting day for me. I’m venturing to my first (in person) weight watchers meeting for the first time since Jan (before I returned to school). Since I started I’ve lost, oh, about 45 lbs(!) on the diet, so I’m excited (and still very, very shocked). While I followed the program online, I did miss out on some of the tips and encouragement that the meetings supposively provide. And with my luck, I’ll probably be the only male there tomorrow…go figure.

After that it’s off to the JCC to go work out and start lifting again. Then I’m not sure what awaits me. Probably going to be moving stuff around the house and then in the afternoon helping my brother with his algebra 1 HW., but we’ll see how things go…

There are many sites around the blogsphere with much better and complete posts than the thought I’m about to share, about the significance of Memorial Day and what it means to us as Americans.

I wanted to share a thought I had earlier today.

I was driving home from an errand and I passed by a neighbor’s house and noticed that his American Flag, (which he has on a flag pole) was at half mast. (This neighbor is a graduate of the Naval Academy and a verteran himself).

Though I only saw it briefly the site of the flag at half-mast made me think about the privledge we still have to fly the Stars and Stripes. Were it not for all those who we remember on this day. Furthermore, I believe that we should not simply just honor those who have given their lives for this nation on this one specific day of the year, but rather, we should keep in mind all who served and those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms and liberties which we enjoy–every day.
