I had an unusually bad migraine today and spent most of the day in bed in spite of several attempts to get up. As dinner hour approached, I gave myself a good talking to and thought of you, Hollye. "Damn it," I said to myself. "If Hollye can run a freakin' half marathon after what she has so recently been through, you can get up and cook something nutritious for your family – it can be easy peasy." I did and I'm so glad. I thought I should let you know. You are an inspiration. Thanks, too, to the Huffington Post for cluing me in to your blog.
Dear Iris,
Thank you so very much for your note. You're so right: dinner can indeed be easy peasy. I made a dinner tonight that tasted as if I slaved for hours, when in reality it took a whopping 14 minutes! Hee! Hee!
I sure hope that your head feels better! Migraines are the worst.
Thank you again for your note. It gave me a gigantic smile!
