Monday Motivation: The Exception

I just got back from Oktoberfest in Munich.

I was not on plan. Not even close.

There was beer. There were pretzels the size of your head. There were sausages and music and a lot of laughing. Schnitzel. Kaiserschmarrn. I can keep going and going.

I did not think about a single serving.

And I don't feel bad about it for one second.

That's how it should be.

I want all of you to remember something. The reason we have routines is so we can enjoy the exceptions.
