Today was a beautiful day, in all respects. Outside, it was a spectacular, cool, yet sunny vista. Inside, it was a calm, joyful, peaceful state of being. I felt as good as I've felt in months. I felt healthy, rested, not anxious, alive, awake, and peaceful. Oh, yeah!

Awoke and did Qigong, had breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, cinnamon, butter and sugar), went for a walk (rapid pace), came back and rested/read until lunch (DeeDee's Indian buffet). Did some errands, went to the library and picked up some reading materials. Came back and read for most of the afternoon. Did some yoga, rested some, but stayed awake.

Dinner was a pear and cottage cheese (love those flavors together). Got a call from the French couple and they want to meet on Saturday. He's doing treatments and wants to hear about my experience. Will be good for both of us to exchange notes.

Had an amusing experience this afternoon. I was downtown and when I came to a traffic light there was an older woman hobbling across the street. She is one of the downtown street people who lives in one of the low rent hotels. She was using a cane to help her walk and balance. At one point, her hand came out of her sweater pocket and a dollar bill fell onto the street.

The light changed and there was an illegal parking spot (red lined) that I pulled into, turned on my flashers, and jumped out. I retrieved the dollar from the intersection and ran after the woman and gave her back her dollar. There was another street person standing nearby, who also had a cane. He stuck out his hand and asked me to give him a dollar as well. I couldn't help but laugh and give him one.

Anyway, it was pleasant interlude along the way today.
