"Hatred never ends hatred, but by love alone is healed."

Jack Kornfield: The Ancient Heart of Forgiveness

 

I am not I.

I am this one

walking beside me whom I do not see,

whom at times I manage to visit,

and whom at other times I forget;

who remains calm and silent while I talk,

and forgives, gently, when I hate,

who walks where I am not,

who will remain standing when I die.

By Juan Ramón Jiménez

I feel like I got away with something.

I went off low carb starting on Thanksgiving and went back on after New Year’s Day.  I didn’t go crazy with sugar, flour, potatoes, rice and holiday cheer etc., but I did go to a lot of great parties and did indulge in all of the usual holiday treats. 

When I finally got up enough nerve to get on the scale after the holidays I was shocked at what the scale said.  I hadn’t gained any weight at all.  In fact, I lost one pound.  AWESOME!  I feel like I got away with something. 

Low carb is easy to do. I am back on a steady slow weight loss.  Now that I have some time off I have been able to get out and exercise every day so I am feeling the inches melting off me faster.  I do feel it all over me. 

I’m organizing this summers West Coast Glamping trip up at the Russian River and hope to be feeling better wearing a swimsuit.  It’s a good goal and something to look forward too.  We will see….
