Cold and miserable ... but still so beautiful


Today felt like the type of day where it would have been better to stay in bed and read or watch movies all day. The type of day where I didn't want to face the world and what it held for me. But I said NO WAY and got out of bed with a smile on my face.

Today was an interesting day. It was the end of something old ... a long time friendship ... but the beginning of something else. I don't know what that else is yet, but I'm not sad. I cherish the time with this friend, learned from the mistakes that were made, and have moved one.

At the same time, another friend sent me this today:

"First I was dying to finish high school and start college, and then I was dying to finish college and start working. Then I was dying to get married and have children,
and then I was dying for my children to to grow old enough so I could go back to work. But then I was dying to retire, and now I'm dying.

Suddenly, I realized ... I forgot to live.

Please don't let this happen to you. Appreciate your current situation and enjoy each day."

I commmit to enjoy each day, whatever it may bring and challenge you to do the same!

  1. Lorri, Just wondering if you are taking measurments, starting weight etc... I performed a 90 day body transformation back in '99 and regret I have fallen off track. Will be fun to watch you.
