Day 196

The day after a big workout is usually an interesting one for me. If I'm totally wiped out and sore, then it may very well be that I didn't train properly. I'm happy to report that I felt awesome today - nearly well enough to get back on my training regimen. Although I felt well enough to get a WOD in I opted to force myself to rest up, fuel up, get ready for the week ahead and plan for my next event.

Today's bow was gifted by Monica Maria over at Bow-tie Expressions. It features the Peanuts characters from my all-time favorite Christmas special where my main man, Linus, breaks it all down for Chuck. If you're looking for a great deal on a HUGE selection of bows, you've got to check out their site. For $14.95 and free shipping, it's really hard to pass up. Order 5 or more and you'll get a free "mystery" bow tie included with your order. How cool is that? 

Day 165

Peanuts on a bow tie? Yup. Is that Sally reading a book? You bet. I think Charlie Brown once said "Happiness is a warm puppy." I could be off. More times than not, happiness isn't defined by a beagle. It's what you make of it. It doesn't have to be a feeling. Feelings are fickle and deceitful misfits that come and go as they please. I'd argue that happiness is a state of mind. If you choose to focus your energy on the negative then the logical response will be that a negative mindset will set in and once that cancerous ball of negativity gets rolling, a person's whole perspective of reality can be skewed rather quickly. I encourage you, friends, take the high road. Take the road less traveled. Take the road that will lead you to happy thoughts.

Today's bow comes by way of Monica Maria. If you haven't check out their ebay site, you're really missing out on a fantastic selection of bows.
