Good morning…
and good morning to the intangible day.
I complain.
I’m happy.
Then I’m not happy.
Then I accept.
Not necessarily in that order.
It moves around…
depending on the day.
I once heard someone say…
all great things begin small.
Ironically…
it was in the movie Prometheus.
I know…
a movie quote.
But it made sense to me.
For most of my life…
I was overweight.
Then one day I listened.
“Eat what fits in your hand.
Eat white meat.
Red meat.
Greens.
Drink plenty of water.
And don’t cheat more than one meal a week.”
“Okay, Doc.”
From November 17…
until today…
I’ve lost thirty-six pounds.
I didn’t even notice.
Then one day someone said,
“Hey…
you look different.
You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
I smiled.
“Really?”
I still look the same to me.
Thank you.
…
My coffee is brewing.
Drink up.
And enjoy your beautiful day.
