I knew I was going to forget something! I'd wanted to mention another lie I've stopped believing and grown away from- that body size equates health. It is possible to have a larger body and be healthy, and it's possible to have a smaller body and be unhealthy. So, I can't judge my body or anyone else's as healthy or unhealthy based on its size. Another life-changer for me!

I am not super outdoorsy, but one thing I've done to at least encourage myself to be outside is to do the things there that I'd normally do inside. I will take a blanket and a beverage and go read. Or I will Facetime with a friend. Or sometimes I will even watch TV or videos outdoors! Usually I will drive to or walk to somewhere interesting (walking bonus actually lets me experience the air and get some activity in, even if it's just from my parking spot at the park to a prettier area farther within the park), then fire up my show. I've done this as a "movie night" at an overlook too.

It's a deep and daunting one for sure. And to be honest, I don't always feel super up to trying to answer it. I think I've just got to be more aware and purposeful during the times that I am up for it. Or maybe it's the sort of thing that reveals itself to you as life happens? And the thing to be aware of and purposeful about is living?

I only had a couple of more authentic Norwegian things, and the waffle was not to be missed! It was in the shape of hearts and topped with sour cream, raspberry jam, and their brown cheese. It's eaten folded in half like a taco, and it was taaasty!!
