A little about tolerance

Hi all,


Today, let's talk a little about tolerance. In the course of the past few days, a few events got me to start thinking about not only tolerance in itself, but also about our lack of tolerance towards those that we perceived as being intolerant.  It would be so easy to accept that we all are different beings with different values and that those differences make us look at a situation and not the perceive it the same way.  A simple discriminatory comment that is express publicly and there are a lot of people that will jump on the person that dared to express that commentary.  At that point, starts the labeling (racist, sexist, etc) and a lot of reproaches are landing in both public and private. That last behavior is what brought up my questioning. Even if I am completely against racism (every form of it), aren't we as intolerants as the intolerant by acting in such manner?  I still haven't found an answer, but maybe by sharing this i'll improve my chances of getting there.

Time for a little change

The olympics have come and gone.  Canada beat the all time record of gold medals, but mostly Canada won gold in both olympic hockey tournaments.  Now that all the athletes are back to their usual schedule, it is time for me to take charge of my own and get back into healty habits. It came out as a shock to me when i realized that after 3 years of physio, I was starting to gain a little too much weight to my liking.  It is now time to take control of the situation and get my healt back on track. I just started a new training schedule.  Swimming 3 times a week, yoga once and swiss ball muscle training once a week.  If everything goes well, I should be able to start jogging/running over the summer (I hate running but in my line of work i need to be at least somehow good at it).

Now the hardest part, food.  I totally have no discipline in terms of dieting.  I guess that this blog is likely to help me with it as I won't want to let anyone down (even if I am usure if anyone will actually read this thing).  So this week I am getting someone to take the before picture, start to find something that would fit me in terms of diet and start this whole thing.  I might be including some other changes I am planning to do with my life, like the redecorating of my appartment and other little things that I will do to enjoy my life a little more.

On this, I will say until next time.
