life is not just about food

Rate this Entry
Well today was pretty good.
I ate a good smoothie for bfast and a couple oranges for lunch.
dinner was SAD, but tasty and not excessive.

i am learning to play the drums. have been taking lessons for about 1 1/2 years. Last week I found a band I can play with --- cause i haven't played with other humans yet. YIKES.

i can practice with them starting tomorrow and am VERY nervous but excited.

also i found a spanish class i can join to read spanish literature and talk with others. it will be good caues my spanish is slippinggggggg....

sometimes i focus too much on food. life is about so much more. i think it is good to focus on the raw, but also good to start or revisit other things in life that i like. that drives the raw to be better.

i am grateful that i have so much resilience and can pick myself up a million times and keep on going.

good night all.

    YAH, Mary, good for you and learing something new!! I started clogging this year at DD's dance studio. I always wanted to dance, more like ballet, but this class was open to adults, and I love it...yes, life is about more than food!! Good for you!! Yes, I have picked myself up after dozens of slips...but at least we're still here, right??!!!!!

    Oh...and Spanish, forgive me for asking, but is this your original language, something you had in high school, or another class??? I want my kids to learn, which we will all learn together (homeschool) and am looking for a curriculum for next year!! We have more in common than we thought!! Let me know how band practice goes tonight!!

    Hola Mary! Como estas? I think that's about as much Spanish as I remember! :) I have been thinking about taking some classes to brush up as well, but can never decide if I want to do that, or take a photography class, or go back to school for my MBA. Too many choices!

    I really agree with you that it is good to focus on something other than food. It's great that you are taking the time to learn something new!
