PROPER FOOTBALL DAY. Soccer for those of you who don’t know any better. #USAvsGER #USMNT #RFK #Football #footy #soccer (at RFK Stadium)

Ahhhahahahhahahaha. Yes.

I love this so hard right now. 

Well, the first part of it, anyway.

yes

Had to check myself this afternoon when I was considering whether or not I should go to the gym. When it’s no longer automatically part of your (my) day, our not the one thing you (I) work the rest of your (my) schedule around, you know it’s time to get your ass moving. #xsport #fitness #cardio #workout #fatburn #training

always.

Remembering Hillsborough

A note:

Originally, this was set to be posted yesterday morning as a commemoration of sorts to the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough Tragedy. While polishing the post and gathering a few accompanying photos, I received a text message alerting me to the fact that something terrible had occurred near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. 

Like with most instances of breaking news, I scanned my Twitter feed, looking for any bit of information that might confirm the horrible event that my friend had alluded to, and then, seeing a few photos tumble down my timeline, the day changed.

Everything else seemed inconsequential; the workday effectively over. How could one dedicate themselves to their own interests when such an event had happened? How could we obsess over something as insignificant as football when people were still missing, families separated and victims in the midst of emergency operations? 

A misery overtook me, and the rest of the day was spent sitting in front of a television screen, fervently searching for any update. 

Today, while stories of the strength and resiliency of the people of Boston give us a sense of optimism and confidence, the pit remains in my stomach. But while I had initially thought to scrap this post, I realized that much of it applies to yesterday’s events. We cannot push away tragedy because it is too painful, and we cannot simply overlook the past, no matter how heartbreaking it may be. We must not allow tragedies to fade, but rather, keep them in mind, as we honor the victims by remembering them not as statistics, but as they were, people, with their own hopes, dreams and families. 

Whether Hillsborough or yesterday’s events in Boston, we must honor their legacy by remembering them as they would have wanted, and never ending our search for justice.

Week 26

I eat this exact meal at least once a week! I’ve been using Angelic no sodium sprouted bread and always always organic avocados. Perfection!
