May the Fourth be with you!

4th May 2015

No! Try not.  Do.  Or do not.  There is no try.  Yoda (Star Wars)

Well what can I say, we are so rock and roll me and my bestie, we spent the afternoon/evening drinking gin whilst doing a jigsaw puzzle and we haven't laughed so much in a good while, with the help of my and Jen (Lynne's daughter - whose growing up way too fast) we finally finished the jigsaw that has been driving mom and I insane for weeks and we had a lovely time, lots of giggles, we had a hot dog for lunch and a burger for tea, what a perfect day! 

In case you didn't know today is Star Wars day, May the Fourth be with you!  And we can all learn a lot from Yoda, here are a few of his quotes to get you thinking;

"Do or do not... there is no try."

He's right, I always say, give it some commitment, add a bit of umph to the end of that try and triumph instead!

 "Wars do not make one great."

Nothing to add there, he knows what he's talking about.

"Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter."

Embrace the BeYOUtiful luminous wonderfulness that is you.

"Already know you that which you need."

On most occasions, you know the right thing to do, don't lie to yourself

"Impossible to see, the future is."
Don't worry about the what the future holds, focus on the now and work towards the future you want.

"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

Feel the fear and do it anyway, don't have, be nice! BeYOUtiful

"Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall. That is the way of things."
What are you waiting for, go do something, do those things you keep saying, "one day I'll....." Cherish each and every day and spend time with those you love.

Well that's your bit of Bank holiday Monday nerdishness, go enjoy the day, spend some time with those you love if you can, do something you'll enjoy and may the force be with you!  Oh and one last one from Yoda, "Size matters not", now I'll take that one as you can be healthy and happy at any size, eat well, move more and smile a lot.  Oh and a bit of realism from Yoda, "you must learn control", yeah he's right you know, if we want to lose weight we've got to learn control, we need to say no more often and control our inner greedy!  Clever Yoda is and isn't he BeYOUtiful :0)
