I got something like 4 hours of sleep last night.  I’m not ready for either of today’s two exams.  I’m tired and cranky, x 10.

But yesterday evening I spotted an e-mail in my inbox from Fage and Foodbuzz about winning a trip to Greece by posting about the Greek tradition of “Good Living.”  They defined good living as having a positive, healthy life and I’m inclined to agree. 

So last night I set myself up at the mantle.

I’m healthier, happier, and less likely to fall asleep if I study while standing rather than sitting.

And this morning I took the time to make a healthy, tasty breakfast.

Though I did make sure it could be eaten quickly, and with one hand!  Today won’t be fun or easy, but at least it is off to a good start.  I think that pursuing a good life means making an effort to be healthy and positive, and that the little steps you take towards this goal are the ones that really matter.
