Friday Five - Starting off the New Year

I ended 2014 with good friends, laughter, music, and hope ... I woke up on January 1st, 2015 with a horrendous cough and terrible cramps.

Hmmm. That wasn't what I was hoping for.

The beauty of not having set plans (e.g. on January 1st I must do X, Y, Z) is that you can take things in stride. I was in no shape to do much of anything yesterday, but that was just one day out of 365. I rested, stayed hydrated, and tried to get other non-strenuous things done.

Today also wasn't ideal -- it involved waking up a bit cranky and achey from a restless night of 'sleep', my first doctor's visit since my move to London (see, I knew 2015 would be a year of firsts!), and more coughing and cramps. So I'm kinda feeling blah ...

What to do? I just gotta keep on moving forward and workin' it out to the best of my ability. On that note, since I'm not feeling so great, my Friday Five is inspirational and motivational quotes from others.
