Makin' like a Dixie Chick

...and ready ready ready, ready to run!

Significantly satisified

Well, despite my best efforts at cheeriness, it has been a blah kind of week.

Or at least that's my high-expectations, love of flurry and activity kind of take on the week.

One thing that has definitely kept me going is the sea, or, if we're being technical, the Massachusetts Bay on which I live.

My move this past June was definitely the right one. I think I would be crazy if it were not for the water. Before or after a day of the "blahs," God reminds me of the same thing Samwise so often does:

“For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

This just seemed so Sunday

So many people make such beautiful art in so many different ways. Thank you internet for bringing it to us. Now I shall relax.

 

Happy Sunday!

Sunny

Good morning, Boston.

Yes. This is how I feel.

Thank God for every new day to learn.

Simultaneously proud and embarrased of this picture.

As it is with other things in life. Proud. Embarrassed. But I'm here to be both.

Right side of the bed

Yesterday, I was sad that I hadn't been sleeping/waking as well as I would like. So I inquired about strategies to remedy this, and from a couple of friends received some good ideas:

 

Corpse pose yogic breathing

Hot milk with cinnamon

Waking between 4:30-6:30am

 

...

 

and the one I actually used

 

...

 

Thinking about what I was looking forward to today!

 

Glorious fall weather, getting to work on time, and that extra thirty minutes of peace.
