Have you ever ran out of gas! Yeah, me too...

There are two fuels we all understand: gas for our cars and food for our bodies.

Without gas, the car stops. Without food, eventually, so do we.

Now, some people say, “I just consider food fuel.”

I don’t understand those people. I don't know if I even respect them, but I do know that I don’t want them picking the restaurant.

Join Dave for some "toppin' of the tank" chatter about:

• Why do we need fuel?
• Ten fuels we need
• What happens when those tanks run low?
• Five places to find these fuels
• Five ways to fuel yourself
• Taking responsibility for yourself includes asking for help.
• Five ways to fuel others
• Keep enough in the tank to enjoy the ride

Every day, life asks something of us. Some days it asks a lot...

We won’t always wake up rested, confident, motivated, and full of hope. There will be mornings when getting our feet on the floor is a respectable accomplishment.

On those mornings, start there.

Eat something. Open the curtains. Take the walk. Call the person. Tell the truth about how you’re doing.

You don’t have to refill everything at once.

And when you have something to give, give a little. Tell someone you appreciate them. Make them laugh. Help them see a possibility they’ve lost sight of.

A small kindness can become part of what gets another person through the day.

We all have places to go, people to love, and things we still want to experience.

Let’s give ourselves what we need to get there.

Check your tank. Find your fuel. Give yourself a reason to look forward to the ride.

And enjoy the food...for crying out loud, somebody went to the trouble of making pizza!!!

Giddyup!
