Be A Sage

Happy Tuesday! My weekend was full of friends and food - two of my favorite things. I would have liked to have gotten more done in the way of chores (you know... laundry, grocery shopping, etc) but oh well. Not like it's the first time those things haven't been accomplished when I'd like.

The new blog is coming along. I should really just launch it already. And honestly it's not even that exciting! I suppose I should just pick a date and do it. Hmm....

Anyway, today's blog book post idea is to talk about good (or bad) advice you've received. I've probably received better advice, but I'll just list a few pieces that pop into my mind:

1) Fake it 'til you make it. I find this works best when I don't feel happy or smiley... once I act happy and smiley for a little bit I typically start to really feel that way.

My friend Lani - faking it for sure!

2) Beauty knows no pain. My mom always says this one, and it seems to come in handy when I'm getting my brows waxed or feet scrubbed... I just grin and bare it and know it will be worth it!

My mom made this sign for the marathon!

3) Don't stop to walk. Emily's advice to me before I ran the marathon. If I had stopped to walk towards the end, I NEVER would have started running again. Best advice for sure!

The guy on the left clearly didn't get that advice...

So there you go. I'm sure I've gotten bad advice, but I can't think of anything! I guess it's good that I don't use brain space to keep things like that stored away.
