Nothing to lose, and everything to gain

Happy Stay Sexy Thursday! I confess, I have a crush. I don't fear rejection, if he says "no" then I get the easy way out. If he says "yes" then there is a lot of work ahead. However, I am afraid to take too big of steps for fear of mucking it all up before it's started. So here's the advice I gave friends back in high school that I now want to tell myself "you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain."

As I pull up my big girl pants on the subject of crushes, I think of the many moments I have spent worrying about tomorrow, or what may or may not happen on Sunday, and not enjoying today. Today, I strive to make it the best day so far, and I will let tomorrow's goal be the same. Sexy starts with me. Or you. However you want to interpret that. =D

Body Image

Today is a special stay sexy Thursday. A big shout out to Papa Chuy. Way to go, Pop!  Congrats on your citizenship!

After our game tonight a few of us talked about body image. I wish I could quote my friend verbatim, but here's the bottom line: being happy and accepting of your body gives you freedom. You are - Free to love yourself. Free to love others. Most importantly, you have the freedom to be loved in return. 

Sexy starts now, with you. First in the head then with the heart

Be Happy

Be happy, it's Stay Sexy Thursday. I read this today and thought it perfect after the struggles I've had this week. We have ultimate control over our happiness.
"The more we rely on the Savior’s grace, the more we will feel that we are on the track our Father in Heaven has intended for us.
…

We do matter. We determine our happiness.

You and I are ultimately in charge of our own happiness.

My wife, Harriet, and I love riding our bicycles…we don’t pay too much attention to how far we go or how fast we travel in comparison with other riders.
However, occasionally I think we should be a bit more competitive. I even think we could get a better time or ride at a higher speed if only we pushed ourselves a little more. And then sometimes I even make the big mistake of mentioning this idea to my wonderful wife.

Her typical reaction to my suggestions of this nature is always very kind, very clear, and very direct. She smiles and says, “Dieter, it’s not a race; it’s a journey. Enjoy the moment.”

How right she is!"
