It’s Friday! Hooray! Boy am I ready.
I spent most of my day yesterday in a hospital ER. Not what I planned, to say the least. Please don’t worry, it was something minor, but also something that required medical intervention. For as granola as I can be sometimes, never wanting to take medicine and looking for natural remedies, etc — I am forever grateful that for doctors and nurses who help people with acute problems day in and day out!
Anyway, looking around the ER waiting room just reminded me that the amount of time I spend thinking about and working toward the idea of being the “Healthiest + Best Version of Myself” is really quite a privilege. I probably need to spend more time appreciating what a gift that flexibility is and spend less time feeling frustrated that my pants were ONE SIZE SMALLER last year, or fretting that I can’t quite figure out how many carbohydrates are the “optimal” amount for me to eat. SHEESH.
So — WOW — didn’t mean to be a downer, just wanted to share a little perspective that the Universe smacked me over the head with yesterday. To make up for it though, how about some fun links?

This weekend should be full of fun with a side of lounging. What are you guys up to?
Not sure if you read Hollywood Housewife (hollywoodhousewife.com) but she had a friday link that reminded me of you. It has a series of pictures of familes from around the world with their groceries for the week. If you have a chance in your lounging this weekend, take a peek.
I do!
Your comment and her website inspired today’s blog post. 🙂 Thanks
Oh man, those Thanksgiving hacks are awesome. I was just thinking about buying a roasting rack. But I am totally going to give the tin-foil trick a try first.
I love the list of books! Good Omens and The Princess Bride are on my list of Favorite Books of All Time.
The Princess Bride: SWOON! So good. I’ll have to check Good Omens out. Thanks!
