It’s Friday and I’m heading back in time. My 40th high school reunion is this weekend.

This post will be short because I have to lose 50 lbs. between now and noon tomorrow.

That’s the thing isn’t it? It’s not going to happen overnight.

Change, real change, has to happen little by little. Step by step.

A chapter written here or there.

You get the idea.

It’s the weekend. Make some tiny changes.

By this time next week, they might be big ones.

American singer-songwriter and producer, Otis Redding, was born on this day in 1941 (died 1967).
