Living each day as my last.

Living each day as my last.

Captivating, this video.

Few words needed, just have to add I’m a bit jealous that this idea is now taken.  And that I still find new things I didn’t notice after discovering this a bit ago!

Oh yes, and that my curls look just as gorgeous when I sleep!

24th November: Day 43 of doing one thing as if I was living that day as my last.

I’m so excited! I’ve been thinking for nearly a year that I needed a completely new workout mix. I’ve been rescued along the way by my incredible sister. But it was only today that I got my act together and put together a fresh set of tunes to get my blood pumping, and more importantly, me out of the saddle and clinging to the handlebars for a killer uphill.
