Trying pays! What my Mommy taught me recently…

My Mom has taught me a lot over the years but I won’t bore you or make you cry with all the details. If you know her, you know she’s a cool customer.

One aspect where she might have been lacking (and she’ll gladly attest to this) was in the cooking department. She would gladly mention when I was growing up that she wasn’t a big fan of eating and thus cooking. She would even go as far as to say that eating was a chore for her on most days. Where I got my love for both is beyond me…

Recently with some more time on her hands, my Mom has raised her game in the kitchen. Over the few months she has made multiple dinners for myself and other friends and has blown us all away. I don’t know where she got the inspiration but I’m glad. Healthy and yummy every time!

It just goes to show you that with some effort and a plan (or recipes) you can accomplish a lot in a short time. It also helps she makes more time for her new hobby but it has paid off a lot for her guests and my taste buds. Mom, keep up the great work!

I find the same can be applied to physical activity. Most of us are not natural athletes but if you start doing something (especially with instruction from a great mentor), you will see you can enjoy an activity and get benefits rather quickly. You’re not too old to try to enjoy something new, look at my Mom!

And I say a lot that trying doesn’t pay the rent. I might have to change my tune now…
