Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Slowly but surely trying to get back in the groove. I promised to write this week. To exercise this week and to go a little easier on myself. This week. Just to see how it is. (And to see if I can actually do it.)

I took a decent blow last week when a close friend with whom I spent a chunk of my time left the country (permanently, it seems). I always get thrown for a major loop when people go out of my life in some form or another. I know I should be old enough and familiar enough with these events to digest such changes more gracefully but I never get accustomed to filling my time with me. So uncomfortable and lonely. Gag. Just don't feel like thinking about it. Will instead focus energy on willing the weather to cooperate for tennis tonight.

Thought for the day: Think. (Not about filling time with me though...not yet.) Just think about what I am doing. Eating. Saying to myself. Today's mission is to be more conscious of how I behave and misbehave in terms of nutrition and self' treatment. Don't count on me to master this one in a day! Thank you all so much for your encouragement and inspiration. When all is said and done, there will be a big party for all of us! With flaxcakes.
