A Grain of Sand… (a birthday thought).
I saw these photos (link below), and I was not only stunned by their beauty, there was also some sort of a thought nagging at me when I looked at it. I finally managed to formulate it, and it may have come out as a platitude, but here it is:
A Grain of Sand Doesn’t Need to Become a Pearl to be Beautiful

I (blush) made myself a motivational poster with it. I feel that I need that reminder, because I tend to lose the sight of the most important thing chasing perfection and numbers sometimes. And the most important thing is that being fit is the best thing for the body you are in.
Other than that, it was my birthday today, and my husband woke up at 4 am to congratulate me and give me my gift - heart rate monitor! Are you surprised I left for work half an hour late? 
Hope you all are having a MAGNIFICENT DAY!
