4. What I’m eating, drinking, buying or whatever else is on my mind:

Finally received our iHerb Shipment that was lost for over 1 month somewhere between Los Angeles and Macau.
I can understand there must such confusion with cargo planes and moving goods in and out of Macau during this situation.
It was actually so late, that iHerb gave us a US$100 credit for the lost package, which included wheatgrass, spirulina, and Vitamin B Complex. That was such a nice gesture of gratitude from iHerb

5. Quote(s) I am Pondering:

“Remember how long you have been putting off these things, and how often you have received an opportunity from the gods, and yet do not use it. You must now at last perceive of what universe you are a part, and from what administrator of the universe your existence flows, and that a limit of time is fixed for you, which if you do not use for clearing away the clouds from your mind, it will go and you will go, and it will never return.” Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor
You only have so much time on this planet….so live in the present, and don’t procrastinate doing the things that are important to you! We all can use this reminder every now and again.

Happy Friday!
