6019

Took my truck in for a service today, in between the raindrops. Was a bit chilly around 6:30AM, but I had to do it. Had a slight leak in one of the hoses that needed to be attended to. So, up in the morning, out on the road, back on the bus, walk from the bus station, and reversed that pattern later in the afternoon. Got my walking done for the day.

When I got back this morning, I took a nap--yes, a nap at 9AM. Then got up, did some Qigong, meditated for a bit, and started the trek back to the truck. After I picked it up, I went to a restorative yoga class. The class was wonderful! Truly restoring--perhaps need to do it even more often than once a week. A really healing session. Topped off with a lentil vegetable soup and a bran muffin. Keeping regular.

Landlady has actually fired up the heater over the past few days. Gets a bit steamy sometimes here in my cave, but heat beats cold any day.

Bumped into a guy I used to work with (long time ago). He was surprised that I recognized him--I never forget a face. Can't always bring up the name, but I do recall faces.

Feeling good from yoga class. Think I'll read for a bit and hit the hay (sounds like something a horse might say). Any breakthroughs today?

Yes, I realized that no one was going to die if I had to kiss off the truck service appointment. Had it been raining hard, I might have done so, but the rain drops aligned themselves with my intentions. But, it was a good feeling to realize I don't have to always do everything I plan--I can change the plans if I need to do so, instead of pushing forward through the muck. One step at a time. I will find joy! I will!

Lady that teaches the restorative yoga says she has some leads on a couple of practitioners who have used Yin Tuina. Looking forward to being put in touch with them--literally. As I walked today, I practiced seeing myself walking freely, without restriction. Was a bit more difficult on the return trip since I had walked so much earlier. But, it all came out as it should. Practice, practice, practice! And a good bran muffin!
