Master

I fail at something everyday…

Someone once told me that the day you stop learning should be the day you die.  I pray that I learn something everyday and fail (well, not always).

Blessings.

Salmon

I love fish.  Eating fish–any kind of fish:  sushi, fried, sauteed, grilled.  I have been craving fish lately, and had some amazing salmon marinated with Dale’s Seasoning.  It was grilled, and truly yummy.

Our grill is a charcoal grill, and not the best when you just want to quick grill something.  So we decided to pan sear them.  I marinated the salmon filet’s in about 1/2 cup of Dale’s Reduced Sodium Seasoning for about one hour.We just pan seared them, skin side down in a bit of olive oil.Cook on the skin side first (about a third of the way through), and flip just to finish the cooking (maybe two minutes maximum).Hint from Gordon Ramsey: score the salmon skin before cooking will ensure that the fish won’t curl up during cooking.  It worked (like I question him and his suggestions – ha).img_1074My plate with a bit of jasmine rice, an roasted snow peas.  This will be my go to recipe for Salmon for a while.

Slack

Step back and look at what you are doing from another point of view.

Everyone’s journey is different. I say this to our children as their paths are different from their friends. And I say this to myself with work, weight loss and with my Lupus struggles.

Count your blessings. It helps remind ourselves of what we have done not what needs to be done.

Stumble

I need to remember that it’s not how many times I fall, but that I always get back up.

What do you tell yourself to be encouraging when you fail?

Power

This is so true for me with my health, home, and work.

I need to reset my attitude in everything pertaining to my body, and it begins with the mind.

Struggling, but aware.

Do you have something you need to change your mindset?

Pretzel

When Carmen and I were visiting family in Maryland just over the Potomac from DC, we went to the store and I found these…

We got two. The smell alone brought back so many memories from visiting Germany in my youth.  I can get the ones in the freezer in Florida…but these were made fresh.  Carmen and I shared these two over a couple of days.  So yummy.

Is there something you see in the store while on vacation that does this to you?
