Food for thought
Got this in one of my flylady/workout emails… “It’s the little choices every day that take us in the direction we want to travel. This does not mean to beat ourselves up (or worse stop moving completely) if we stumble on the path but to follow the trail at our own pace, slow and steady, […]
