I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!
(I started writing this Sunday night but didn’t finish until Monday. I’m backdating it to be a Sunday post though as that seems most appropriate given Sunday’s incredibly tragic events.) ~ Swirl ~ Thursday My library staff do a tour of the local Muslim school. We observe prayers. We learn to say “library” in Arabic. […]
I’m not going to post a picture of Sasha running around the house naked in a cowboy hat but I can tell you that she’s not even going to the concert yet her parents’ excitement must be contagious. Mommy was singing and dancing in the kitchen, daddy dug through his old CDs to find the various […]
