So, as you know we do a little show called Barbell Shrugged. On this show we talk training and nutrition, but generally wrap the discussion with a bit of humor, story telling and salty language. It’s a nice mix. Well, on rare occasion we wrap a little bit of wisdom around a whole bunch of goofing off.

Life is mostly routine. You wake up – often times well before you’re ready – and you go about your business.

“Enough is enough!” That statement implies a sense of desperation, doesn’t it? But really, we say this far too often. I might even be guilty of repeating the phrase once or twice today already, and I’ve haven’t even put on pants yet! No matter what we’re up to or dealing with, we’ll most likely be fine with a bit more – as unpleasant as that thing may be. But the point does remain. One of our core objectives, as we live and breath, is to decide when we will move on. From that job. From the vacuous or poisonous relationship. From the failed or unrewarding pursuit. From that container of Chunky Monkey that will only continue to air its irresistible siren song from the…

We all know what we should do this Thursday. We should gather in our respective hometowns with our families.

And most idealistically, we should take each other by the hand as we survey the bounty before us and really express how we are, in fact, very thankful to have this family of ours. I might add this all-American Hallmark dinner moment includes willful eye contact. We all want to believe in this moment, but in reality things are very different. We love some family members dearly, while we could…
