It can be very difficult at times to separate opinions from fact. Mindfulness in choices plays an important role in how we treat ourselves too. Really good reminders, thank you, Perna.

I did yoga this morning and feel so much better, also got to stay in the warm comfort of the home as it is cold out this morning. As you mention Beholden, about the snow, it is right around the corner here too and have some figuring to do to supplement the walking when that happens and to keep up the momentum.

Ordering food yesterday was fun while out of town. Apparently, I was "crazy" according to the waiter for asking for dressing on the side and requesting that the steamed vegetables not have anything on them. The menu did not say "no substitutions". I know it's picky but I don't need the extra stuff and like the flavor as is. As much as I like eating out, not having to do the cooking, it's nice to be able to prepare things at home yourself on one hand exactly as you want. The only judgments then I have to suffer are my own.
