it's a new day
It is a banana pancake sort of morning.
The birds are calling as rain fills the children's toys out back.

The melancholy that was Monday has passed, and new hope has seeped in--maybe with the rain?
I am preparing to hit the treadmill this morning, but will be walking for a change. My big brother, my chiropractor, has confirmed serious strains in my back. So for a week now, I have been resting and icing. Surprisingly, I have been relatively easy on myself. Every now and then, my mind tries to tell me that I've gained ten pounds in the last week without running, but I know better. And better is to lay off--lay off the self-criticism, the expectations and rest.
Oh, and exchange my morning protein shake with banana pancakes.

Good for you Cassie. Everyone needs a little R&R. Sorry that your back is jacked up though. That is the worst! Hope your pancakes were as good as those ones looked though. Yummy!
I agree. I think being healthy is also knowing when you need a break! :) I love banana pancakes, I even throw in some peanut butter! :)
I was wondering how do you get your Goodreads onto your blog. I would love to do that on mine... I tried a couple of things but they did not work. Thank you. :)
can i join you al for breakfast?!
ps: rest is best, glad you're taking the time to take care of yourself.
Yes, banana pancakes are so delicious, and I wish you could all come and enjoy them with me sometime.
Summer--I hope you received my email. For anyone else who is trying to figure out how to add Goodreads to your blog, here is what I sent to Summer:
"The way that you can add Goodreads to your blog is go to your "my books" tab in your goodreads account and on the left-hand side under "tools" click on widgets. There you will see the code to put onto your blog. I believe "widget" is an option to add under your blogger layout section, and there you can paste the code."
Have a fabulous day!
THANK YOU! :)
Cassie, hope your back starts feeling better soon! But yes, the best thing to do is rest and ice, for sure. I've felt the same way this last week and a half since the marathon. I'm used to running so much and I've been taking it easy, (only 3 days this week) and I swear I've gained 20 lbs., but I know it's in my head. Enjoy your time of relaxation!!
