This has been my motto lately. Without it, I’d go nuts. There is no better way to deal with disappointment in your life than to just “let it be!”
Oscar certainly knows how to "let it be!"
Exhibit A: I sign up to run my first HALF MARATHON, train my first day (a wonderful 4-miler on the TM) and wake up sick the next day, unable to train until “further notice.” Gr. I’m gonna go with Tina’s reminder: Exercise is to get strong, not skinny. If I want to be strong, no exercise today 🙂 Anyway, this, like other things in life have to be let GO! Let it go! Liberate yourself 😉 OK, moving on…. I just HAD to post about dinner last night. Not only was the food delish, but the company was even moreso!
Eamon and Liz!
YUM! Indian feasts rock!
Really? What Indian feast is complete without (regular and whole wheat) naan?
