To Choose or NOT to Choose!There just seems to be too many choices today! LOL!!! I like the fact th

There just seems to be too many choices today! LOL!!!  I like the fact that we have several options when we find ourselves needing something or... yes, find ourselves in a situation. When I was growing up, I remember when my Dad needed to buy a new pickup for the place.  He had the choices of GMC/Chevrolet, Ford or International.  It was a boy's dream to go look at all of those different trucks and all the "things" inside.  We always bought the basic work truck... ARGH!  No toys!  I liked those old GMCs. Then there were the times like going to high school.  The choices we had to make:  what do I wear that will make me cool?, What type of haircut should I have?, How should I carry my books?, What position should I play in football?, Where do I hang out?, Should I take home ec or not?  Later on I realized that who cared what the guys thought of "one of us" taking home ec, it was the girl's opinion that mattered anyway.  LOL!!!  And IF you had a choice of who to ask to the Prom, you had it made.  Hey, wasn't High School really about the girls?  Ah, I just realized what "acluistic" means.  There were times I wished I had a better choice, like when my Grandma served Liver and Onions.  The choice was "Your going to sit there until you eat ALL of your dinner".  Yuck!  She sure was a patient old gal (RIP).  I should have asked "or what?", but it wasn't of my nature then.  What was really bad was I would sit there and sip my milk away, slowly eat my peas and carrots, chew away on that huge dinner roll (with butter and what ever else I could put on it to pass the time) until there was nothing left... but the LIVER!  I just had one of those flash backs.  Oh!  I do not like liver even today!  I think I'll skip breakfast nown. The choices that I really LOVE to make today are the simple ones!  LIke who do I hug first when I get home each day?  My wife, son or daughter?  Easy!  Whoever gets to me first!  LOL!!!   Hey!  I heard that!  Yes, they DO race to see who gets to hug me first... well, it depends upon what I've been doing for the day.   I always get hugged!  HAHaha!  When I wake up each morning, I can say, "Thank God it's morning or Good God it's morning all ready!".  I consider it a great blessing when I watch that break of day.  Hey, I get to make more choices!!!  Isn't that what our day is about?  Let's see, my choices are: honey-do list or my list... You probably thought I would choose the "My List" didn't you?  Ha!  I have this plague that reads, "Happy Wife, Happy Life".  Most of the time I remember it!  LOL!!! Jumping ahead a few years to the present, my daily choices are:  Go to work or not, What do I wear to look cool?, Did I remember to trim my ear hair?, Do I take Advil or Tylenol for my old football injuries? LOL!!!  Every choice we make will come back and haunt us right?  In trying to write something reflective of my high school years and today I realized this... Cool is only an imaginary thing that is more rare than common sense, my knees hurt because I played football, I'm thankful that I have hair to cut, and... to balance everything out... I'm still in home-ec and go to the Prom once a month whether I like it or not!  Some choices!  LOL!!! Now, there are choices that you may not consciously think about.  Your body does, but if you are like most of us, speaking mostly about me at a time in my life... not in tune with my body!   One day I woke up realizing that I had severe sinus problems!  It had moved beyond the Doctors, becoming allergic to steroids, and taking a pill or five times a day.  They were bleeding... caused headaches that an aspirin couldn't touch... wouldn't drain and become impacted and swollen... when the infections would set in, I'd simply find somewhere to be alone and just cry... I thought it was the end for me each time.  I lived in rooms with steam machines, hot steaming showers, hot teas, bottles of saline solutions, upside down... No matter what I chose to do, I couldn't fix this problem... the problem of pain!  Oh... and all the nights sitting up with acid indigestion EVEN if I hadn't eaten anything.  What was wrong with me?  I almost gave up... One day I CHOSE to search on the internet to see if anyone else was experiencing this great misery.  There were may others and they all had come to the same conclusion... our bodies were dehydrated!   WHAT?!?!?!    "I never go thirsty", I said to myself.  I always had a Dr. Pepper or Coke, Iced Tea or coffee and even water in my hand or on my desk.   How could I be thirsty? I found the answer.  After reading a long list of symptoms of dehydration and acidosis (Symptoms by Don Conner), I realized that it was a simple fix... get hydrated!  I began drinking gallons of Gatorade and Propel... hey, that is what athletes drink to get hydrated right?  Yeah, but they were burning calories like a well oiled motor... me, my body just stored up all that sugar!  It was helping me, but it was growing me too!  LOL!!!   I had to find another way to hydrate my body.  That is when I found Xtreme X2O.  This is the most amazing stuff on earth!  It has helped me tremendously in overcoming many hidden aspects of being dehydrated and no more acidosis.  I feel good now!  I haven't had a bleeding sinus for over three years now.  I can breathe!  I do not experience allergies like I use too.  It is rare that I ever take antihistamines anymore.  Life is good again!  I'm glad I made the choice to try that Xtreme X2O!  It has helped change my life!  I wish all of you great results from good choices today.
