This post is dedicated to the weight I've lost, gained back, subsequently lost again, and now continue to pay attention to. Mary and I spent a good 10 minutes howling on the couch last night when we came across this gem from a weekend we spent down in L.A. with our dear friends Tina, J and Will and then Jake, Lisa and Zane. Olivia hadn't been born yet. I was probably close to my peak weight then, and a man in that condition should avoid sitting in a kiddie pool, with his clothes on no less, at all costs. I can't believe how much better I look in even the shots taken moments before I got into the thing. In any case, this has kicked off an idea about humility and sharing unflattering images of ourselves. More on that when I have time to develop the thoughts. For now, let this be a reminder to me, and to all those I share it with, how easy it is to expand, and contract. Let my current expansion continue internally, spiritually, devotionally, and in my heart rather than my gut.
