I do it first & then worry about it later I guess or even I look at it and even if it appears difficult I just do the best I can because that's all I can do my dad use to tell me.

I want to exercise but I have a million reasons why I shouldn't (my daughter will be bored, people will laugh, it won't help, a gym costs too much, parking is hard to find at the track, etc.etc.!). I will try walking for 15 minutes. Once I get started, I like it, it is just getting started that's so hard!<br />http://dailyleisure.com/category/travel/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818888416977692784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108710850463187033.post-82896830770164718012015-03-06T07:18:51.146-06:002015-03-06T07:18:51.146-06:00I love your fortune cookies note.

I remember saying to her, "no, there is no way I'll have time for that." Well, I remember her saying, "just take the first step, write something and see where it goes." Here I am almost two months later. And, Penny, guess what I do in 15 minutes, check my blog!
