Pain

I hate seeing people I love in emotional or physical distress. If only I had a magic wand...

Hodgepodge (one word or two?)

I've been getting into the whole exercise thing again lately. It's kind of addicting. I feel like I constantly should be moving around now though. Unfortunately, I think it's starting to get on my roommates nerves.

Now if I could only get my eating habits in order. My day of eating consisted of coffee for breakfast (with a couple peanut m&m's),a chicken breast and green beans for lunch, and finally... chocolate milk and peanut m&m's for dinner. Oh, and a couple fries that I stole from Rachel. I of course had a couple glasses of water and one glass of wine throughout the day as well. Right now I am blaming these eating habits on my lack of funds. I can't go grocery shopping, so I am basically eating whatever odds and ends I have left. I'm getting pretty creative, I must say.
Tomorrow I plan on frying up some potatoes and sprinkling some m&m's on top.
I kid, I kid.

Fitness Queen?

So Fitness Queen might be a stretch...

I ran for a full two minutes today. Impressive, right? Those who know me well, actually will think that it is very impressive. I also walked for roughly 42 minutes. Why don't I do this more often? I felt amazing and full of energy afterwards! Okay, I know why I don't do it more often. I am too poor for a gym membership, I live in Wisconsin, where pretty much 40 percent of the year, the weather is not ideal for exercise and that other detail... I'm lazy.
Tomorrow is supposed to be above 50 degrees, so walking I shall go. Again. I promise. Who knows? I could even run again...


Life is full of surprises.

Forgiveness

I have been on a forgiveness kick lately. Here are some of my favorite forgiveness quotes.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. ~Paul Boese

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself. ~Harriet Nelson

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
~Mark Twain




You know you want to forgive someone today. It's easier than not.
