Thank you, Cyndi

Wow, 2011 is already beating us up, isn't it?*

I feel like I've been on the ropes for a while now, waiting for a break so I can catch my breath, but instead of finding that break, I got a sucker punch to the gut last weekend. We all did.

Just think—a week ago, a snowstorm seemed like a struggle. Now the snow feels like a prayer.

It's clear it's not currently appropriate to talk about something as seemingly superficial as dieting or body size—doing so would seem too lighthearted during such a grave time. So instead I'd just like to leave you all with one of the most important songs of our time.
