Today was work. Had our team meeting. Didn't eat lunch. Bad habit I've recently created. I don't eat on Mondays 'cause it's weigh-in day. Lost 1/4 lb. 25 1/2 total. Then off to Chipotle to gain it back. Met Hubs, Bro-in-law, Neph's, The Sager's and Steve's best friend, John, who I've known since college. John Rogers. JR. You know how I love running into old friends. It's nice. We had a nice dinner and then went to Orange Leaf, the yogurt place I told you about. Yum.

On a sad note, my beautiful cousin Lippy lost her Father in Law. Cousin Zack's Dad passed away and today was the funeral. So sad. I wish life was more like my plants. In the winter my bougainvillea, outside our guest bedroom, turns brown and crunchy and dies. It's gloomy and sad from October to April...But then in April it begins to come alive again. A rebirth of sorts.

I wish it could be like that with those we love.

Our thoughts are with you Lippy and Zack, and your family. We know you must be hurting at this time, but hopefully knowing there are so many people who love you, might ease the pain a bit.

Enjoy every day.

Be generous.

Smile.

Laugh.

Tell those who make a difference in your life, that you appreciate them.

Enjoy the warmth of loved ones, and the beauty of nature.
