Spread 'em.

So remember when I was talking about working on my foot muscles? Well i splurged a likkle bit a couple days and bought toe spreaders. They're just like the ones that you put btwn your toes when you paint your nails, except instead of foam, they're gel.

ta-da!

(haha but I actually use them when I'm painting my toes too - so they're dual purpose :P Anything to justify splurging on myself. hee hee.)

So the point of toes spreaders is to work the muscles in your toes and feet in order to improve your overall posture and strength. I've been walking around with them for a couple hours @ a time, and mek mi tell you - I'm using muscles I didn't even know existed in my foot. I have SORE FOOT MUSCLES. Who has sore foot muscles?? I really love them tho. Since I broke my left foot earlier this year I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to get it back to its full strength - I've heard that you feel the repercussions for the rest of your life. But I think after working my feet with these - I'll be great!

I'm using them when I practice too, so I'll update you on that status as the months go by :)

The Definition of Maturity.

Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or distruction.

Maturity is patience, the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favour of long-term gain.

Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of opposition and discouraging set backs.

Maturity is unselfishness - responding to the needs of others, often at the expense of one's own desires or wishes.

Maturity is the ability to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse.

Maturity is humility, it is being big enough to say "i was wrong." And right, the mature person need not say, "I told you so."

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spends their lives exploring endless possibilities, then do nothing.

Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, comign through in the crisis. The immature are mast of the alibi-confused and disorganized. Their lives are a mass of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions which never materialize.

Maturity is the art of living in peace with what which we cannot change.
