FINALLY!

So, after 5 days of no weight loss, I finally dropped 2 pounds today! It's really amazing how this tiny little thing can make such a different in my outlook for the day. For the last five days, I've begun my day by kicking the scale across the floor of my bathroom, the hateful piece of equipment that clearly has no soul.

Today, it was like, "Yeah! Nothing else matters!" All is good in my world.

I found my zen place today. It's not really a place, but a state of mind. Yesterday, I allowed myself to slip into a state of despair. I am not the type to get depressed. I just don't have time. But every once in a while, I allow the crushing weight of responsibility and, more often than not, debt, get to me.

Today, driving down the Likelike Highway, listening to the new Dave Matthews CD, I felt at peace. Sometimes you just have to pause, and breathe, and realize that nothing really matters except breathing in...and out...and in again.

Tomorrow is another day. Be happy.
