Live and Let Live

Wow, I drank WAY too much wine last night. It was bottomless so needless to say I was getting my money's worth. All that fun led to a rough Monday for me. It also led to me saying "Never again..." not just about the wine but about the way I've been treating my body in general. I'm not getting any younger and I am FOR SURE not getting any healthier.

As I was practicing yoga (more like doing legs up a wall because my feet were so swollen from all the salt I consumed today) I pondered the quote "Live and Let Live". I've heard it a thousand times from various people & places. I guess I applied it differently tonight. You know how there are 2 types of people: the ones who don't talk a whole lot about what they are going to do but just DO IT and those who talk A LOT but never really do anything?

I guess I have a bit of both of those people in me. Certain things like taking adventures, moving across the country, choosing a career at random because it interested me at the moment....those things I DO. Running, practicing yoga seriously, blogging (eh hem), riding my bike to cool new places, cooking beautiful food....these are things I talk about a lot but never seem to JUST DO IT.

My MR doesn't do a lot of talking but makes a lot of things happen. Sometimes I even give him a hard time about the fact that he does certain things, walks out on a limb, takes a chance exploring something that he's not sure about. I guess I just realized tonight that I may be a little envious of this in him. Hmm..something to think about.

Other things I want to think about:
  • Practicing Creativity
  • Letting myself fail (and being ok with it)
  • How I've been lazy...I really don't want to be a lazy person.
