It is Tuesday. I started writing this blog post about a half an hour ago and got completely sidetracked by looking at old pictures on the computer. I included a lovely one at the end of this post too…

First read about my boring meals!

Peanut butter oats with Kashi h2h + a pear for a morning snack. Pears are so good! Need to buy them more often. I think it’s currently pear season.

The morning went quickly at work then I went for a walk with a coworker to the Strip District. I changed into my sweet blue and pink pumas (with tights & work clothes) and we ventured out. We probably walked about 2 miles total. The weather was great outside today!

We got back into the office and I had lunch. BIG salad:

• baby spinach (pretty much an entire bag)
• 1/2 apple
• craisins
• broccoli slaw
• almond slivers
• blue cheese
• balsamic vinegar
• olive oil
• honey
• black pepper

I don’t really have anything exciting to report to you today. I walked home from the bus stop with a bus riding friend who I’ve known for over a year now probably. He was dressed casually and I commented and he said he was laid off Friday. He works for a non-profit and was laid off due to budget cuts. I feel very sad for him. He seemed to have a positive attitude about it though! We discussed that there must be a reason for this and maybe him being laid off was just what needed to happen to force him into a change that he might not have made otherwise. Anyway, I hope it all works out for him.

Little poem that I liked:

A crowd of troubles passed him by

As he with courage waited;

He said, “Where do you troubles fly

When you are thus belated?”

“We go,” they say, “to those who mope,

Who look on life dejected,

Who meekly say ‘good bye’ to hope,

We go where we’re expected.”

- Francis J. Allison

On a lighter note…

Have a nice evening!
