Friday Findings

Seeing or hearing about people worse off than me helps my perspective.  Keeps me focused on how good I have it.
Enjoy the following list of web links...... and Happy Friday :)

* I thought my goal to workout 3 times a week and lose 15 pounds was rough.  I was wrong.  Check out this woman's lofty goal.

*  Being a Transportation Logistics major, this next article caught my eye.  It also makes me feel better about my house.  At least I don't live in one of these
But to be fair, it is amazing what they can be turned into.  Check out these boxcar homes, children
(Did I mention I enjoyed The Boxcar Children books when younger?  If only Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny had known their home held such potential!) 
And on a serious note, I think containers are a great solution for affordable and safe housing in places like Haiti or U.S. low income communities. 

* I've felt a bit like a recluse lately.  Not a very good and social friend.  I've even dreamed how wonderful it would be to live like Rachel Denton and get away from it all.  Of course, I would miss my husband, children, and friends - so I won't really do it.  Just a happy place I let my mind wander to occasionaly :)

Have a great weekend!
