day fifty

Really... 50 days?? Seems impossible, but here it is :)

Did you see that moon tonight... faaaabulous!

I'm not a big one for motivational quotes (who am I kidding of course I am... I carry a quote from Robert Kennedy in my wallet "only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly") but I came across a quote from Winston Churchill today that really struck a chord:

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal: it's the courage to continue that counts.

Got me to thinking about how many of us on this journey  focus solely on success or failure. Good day or bad day, we've made the decision to continue and I agree: that's where the courage is. There is a tendency to focus on minutiae of food in, exercise out and to coin another phrase we end up not seeing the forest for the trees. We've made a decision to live healthier, not perfectly and I'm awfully proud of myself for making it fifty days and awfully proud of my comrades for soldiering on.

Y'know maybe Churchill was a good quote to find today... and the next time we "storm the beaches" we'll be in cute swimwear :)
