She claimed it was diet-friendly, but I'm doing a no-carbs diet, so the breading on the fish probably means a setback.<br /><br />Oh well, the path is long but the goal is worthy.

...Keith, thanks for those very spiritual thoughts.<br /><br />I know you have faced the challenge of re-inventing your life in a very purposeful way. By comparison, my challenges are modest.<br /><br />You are also inspiring, and I admire your humble tenacity and spirituality. <br /><br />What is it about the circle of bloggers I find myself in?

It is part of a ritual I do twice a day. It has acted as a reminder of two things which seem true to me: Much of what I suffer is in my head and some suffering is needful.<br /><br />I wish you well on your goal to be more at home in your body. May you find a way of eating and moving which promotes your health and well being. And while I'm sure it won't be painless, may you not experience any needless suffering.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-6312053101800793632014-01-06T09:49:23.729-05:002014-01-06T09:49:23.729-05:00Richard, I've added a widget with my weight at...Richard, I've added a widget with my weight at the top right of the blog.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-16494672664717827352014-01-06T00:51:50.764-05:002014-01-06T00:51:50.764-05:00David:
