What I should be doing is getting this pile of paper off my desk. But what am I really doing? Reading your beautimous blogs.
What I should be doing is saving my money, paying off my car and putting even more money in a retirement account. But what am I really doing? Taking two weeks of vacation, visiting fabulous restaurants and looking at the real estate listings (who needs some huge down payment, anyway?).
What I should be doing is let my hair be it’s natural self, always wear hats in the sun and count every calorie that passes my lips. What am I really doing? Getting highlights (addicted), frolicking in the sun with merely SPF 20 (that’s good, right?), and eating pretty much everything that tastes good (not a lot of it, but yes, EVERYTHING).
What I should be doing is getting plenty of rest, sticking exactly to a good training schedule and and making sure to stretch on a regular basis. What I’m really doing is getting “enough” rest, running because it feels good (hello, 8:00 mile) and stopping when it feels bad, and well, of course I’m stretching. We all know I am, if nothing else, the Queen of Stretching.
The surprising part is, it’s all good anyway. Life can be pretty dang awesome that way. I saw this quote this morning:
“It’s wonderful what we can do if we’re always doing.” – George Washington, 1732-1799, First American President
Notice it doesn’t say it’s wonderful what we can do if we’re always following all the rules. It’s a good thing, because I’m clearly not built to follow all the rules.
