6/18/18: Slow Down

Lately (6 mo PO) I’ve been getting up first thing to go for my stamina-building walk. It wakes me up, keeps me out of my head, and puts me in a better place to manage the speed & multitasking of breakfast-lunches-get-everyone-out.

Today was humid & hazy, and a gnat decided to circle my head for most of the walk. Hammies were tight & sore & resisting the usual loosening magic of the Stick. I was pissed.

Apparently the Den of Positivity doesn’t allow for pissed off mornings, though, because it sent me signs that I couldn’t stop taking pictures of, culminating with a great blue heron taking flight off the pond at my turn-around spot. I couldn’t get my jaw off the ground fast enough to capture her on camera, but I’ve attached a few of the bright spots that pulled me out of the gnat cloud. It was still humid on the walk home, and my leg still hurt. *And* there are good things in the world. Gotta slow down to see them.
