It's Saturday and I accomplished a lot this week so I'm not going to push myself too hard today. My body is telling me to chill out a bit and my body is always right. I did get up at 1am and surfed the net while drinking coffee and half way watching Mannix and Cannon. Don't worry they are old people shows, you've never seen them. 😂
Then at 6am I was out the door for my morning walk before the sun came out to annihilate. It's already humid and there's Saharan dust to contend with. I'm not doing all that AND the sun. I made the walk short because my body is tired. I pushed it up hills repeatedly this week. I did manage to snap some pretty flower pics on my walk.
It's a good morning for a gratitude shout out. This week I'm grateful to my friend and coworker who gave me these two maidenhair ferns. They took to my washroom greenhouse wonderfully and perked up right away. I'm lovingly calling them the Peanuts and have let my Mothra protect them. I'm grateful for a lot of things but that comes to mind this week.
Did a Facebook pop in and a pop off. This method seems to be working for me thus far. And as much as quotey memes get on my nerves I'm liking the reminders they are to focus on what's real again and not get caught up in the spider web of distraction.
Health and fitness has been a focus this week and I've ramped up my distance and frequency. I've been doing one of the major hills around here every morning and my calves are rebelling today. Stretching has been wonderful and I'm about ready to take it further and delve into Tai Chi. I miss martial arts and now my body has injuries to contend with so something in the softer more meditative and slow speed will be next on the radar.
Every day is a process of looking and being in the moment. Meditation and staying mindful. Easier said than done. But I've been good at stopping and noticing the little things. Like this mushroom that was one day a blob and the next-a fully realized upstanding citizen of the mycos family with a little cap and stalk. So as today I am a little blob ... With some work I can have my stalk back. 😂
Going to list this one today in the Shopify and jump on a record commission and start a new canvas. It's the weekend but the work don't stop.
Hope everyone has a great weekend full of your favorite things. I'm hoping there's a cat nap in my day somewhere.
