Baby steps

Baby steps.  That's the only way to do something difficult, but I never want to go through all that.

The universe doesn't care. 

It happens the way it happens.  Of course I do have to do the work.

In this case, my work is all about what does, or does not go in my mouth and that means everything from liquids, to medicine. On top of that I need to move more, which is much easier said than done.

I truly am taking baby steps, but I am seeing small gains and that helps me keep going.

The other thing that keeps me going is that I don't want to walk in my family's footsteps -- the ones minus toes and the ones that die early drinking thickened water, or -- well, just die early.

It's not a big secret, or a surprise, live right, or pay the consequences, but it still is not easy.
