"Gray" Living

I hope the word "gray" doesn't downplay the amount of excitement and passion that I've found when I quit striving for 'perfection' and started seeing the beauty in 'good enough.' 

Let this morning be a prime example:  When I woke up 20 minutes later than planned and realized that my usual 45 minute elliptical action before work would not be feasible, I initially threw up my hands, shed a silent tear, and thought I may as well slap the snooze button for another 30 minutes until it was time to shower.  

Then, my moderate thinking self said "25 minutes is better than nothing." Ten minutes later I was cruising along on the elliptical, watching the tail end of "Bethenny Ever After," and thanking my lucky stars that I got at least a partial workout.

Lesson Learned:  A short workout is always better than no workout. Maybe, if i'm feeling adventurous, i'll sneak in an extra 10 minutes tomorrow. ;)
