Sunday - the day to rest. Well I certainly tried.
BODY - Everypart of my body hurt this morning, and the majority is from the great experience of the RegaeFest. From my feet (from standing for 9 straight hours); to my ankles (from toe tapping for 90 % of that time standing); to my hips - (from bringing out my ol' regae hip movements); to my throat (from all the yo- man and love ya screams; to my eyes (from trying to focus on the band while the rain was coming down or just trying to focus on all the beautiful people) This little blurb started out a bitt whiny, but after revisting my injuries and how they came about, the smile is back on my face and everything was worth it. I can't wait to do it all over again next year!.
So although I gave my body a somewhat physical holiday today (I'm still wearing my pedometer and I am at 8000 steps as of supper time), I did feed my body somethig that it hasn't had in more than 30 years. That's right, the infamous liver. I kept my promise and decided to give liver a chance. I have a great family who was willing to take the journey with me. I don't know if my kids have ever eaten liver, certainly not in my house. But we planned our family dinner together, we cooked our family dinner together, we ate our family dinner together and we cleaned up after our family dinner together. Consensus: I did not find liver to be of such a horrific smell as I remembered from my childhood. We coated it is breadcrumbs and some spices, and sprinkle bacon bits on top. The first bite and it's texture brought back a few bad memories. But once I added the BBQ sauce, I was actually the front runner in the most liver aten. I can take that off my list of things to do before I die!!!!!! (and it didn't even kill me to do it)hahahah
MIND: I woke up this morning and started out my usual routine of revisting my previous day in my mind and questioning myself if there was anything I could have changed or done different during that day to make it a better day. I think I would have replaced the cowboy boots with runners. As much as I love my boots and they are usually comfortable, my feet needed that extra cushion. I might have tried a few more different cultural foods that were being sold in the park. And I would have brought a big winter coat for Janice to use because she was so cold and she stuck it out to the end with me!!!!!!! That's what friends are for.
Today is "buy a blizzard from DQ and money goes to Sick Kids. So little time and money to help those less unfortunate - and give you some peace of mind!!!!!
I'm off to go and spoil my feet in a soak and read a book that doesn't make me think.
Love
Stacey
