23. Example It is 17 February 2012 and I am down the beach with my dog Sam. We have just finished a one hour walk and I am feeling fantastic. My new shorts and t-shirt are size 12 and I look so good in them. I am enjoying the sand between my toes, the sea breeze in my hair, the smell of the salt water and the sound of the waves as they crash against the shore. Follow me on Twitter: LiveWellFibro
