It is a beautiful Saturday around here. By beautiful I mean overcast. Clouds are the ultimate blessing when battling the South American sun. I hope you find some beauty in your weekend as well.
Today is going to be an afternoon of football and some web-surfing. Tomorrow I’ll probably break into the kitchen. I haven’t done much cooking or baking lately. Here are a few things I enjoyed reading this week.
Michelle at The Mindful Eater talked about a Things I Have Learned list that I found inspiring as well. My favorite was “Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid…” Check it out and see if you’ve learned some of these same things.
My Great Grandma, Great Aunt and Mom were/are excellent at canning. Their abilities and resourcefulness always amazes me. I love seeing how others extend the life of their fresh ingredients. Kat at A Good Appetite spiced up here homemade applesauce with some pomegranate juice. The combination sounds wonderful!
I have always enjoyed exercising. I doubt I would have gotten into my field of study if I hadn’t. I’m going to be honest here though, running kicks my butt. I can take any group exercise class you throw at me, stay on the elliptical all morning, but when it comes to running I’m huffing and puffing in no time. I do keep it up from time to time though and take part in race events.
Do you run? A Cheerful Scoop, which focuses on the more upbeat news out there, reported on a study showing how running may slow aging. Even more incentive to keep at it.

So glad that the weather is beautiful where you are - it's beautiful here too, but FREEZING (40°F!!!).
Great links!! I especially love the "Things I have Learned" list. These three on the list really caught my eye:
- "Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid, I have to live now."
- "Worrying solves nothing."
- "Having guts always works out for me."
I too have always loved being active - it's part of who I am!!
Enjoy your weekend!! :0)
Thanks for the wonderful links!
Cute post! I think running is one of the most difficult physical activities! It takes mental and physical strength! I need to start canning! Maybe once I have a garden :)
veggiegirl - Those two caught my eye as well. I love how simple lists like that can really get you thinking and refocused.
meg - Thanks! I'm headed over to your blog now to see what you've cooked up this weekend. :)
erica- Maybe one day I'll get over the hurdle and find running more do-able. There is still hope. :)
