A crisp, clear and sunny New Year's day! Looks like a new year today! Energetically, I feel good. I'm doing 1.5 to 2 hours of exercises (Qigong, Life Force, Tibetan Five, weights and walking) every day now. When it warms up, I'll also start doing some biking. Movement! Movement! Motion by the ocean!

Also looking for some kind of working gig that involves movement and motion--even if it's a volunteer activity.

Slept well last night--didn't want to get up this morning, but managed to get up and get going anyway. Ate somewhat lightly yesterday so am craving a bit today--had oatmeal for breakfast and part of an apple fritter. Been craving animal protein the past few days and have been eating some meat in various forms. Will have to see what today brings--lots of places are closed so my choices are somewhat limited--but I can create something tasty with what I have.

In addition to exercising each day, I also spend a big chunk of time dealing with food (preparation, shopping, eating and cleanup). Easily another 1.5 to 2 hours there as well. Two hours here, two hours there, makes many hours everywhere.

And, oh yes, my nap/rest periods! Came back today from lunch and went out for nearly two hours. Read some as well, but really conked out for a while. Got up and did LF plus Tibetan drills and it's nearly dinner time. Not hungry--had a big lunch. Will much lightly a bit later.

Quiet out this afternoon--like there's a stillness that's settled over everything. People enjoying the sun and the holiday. It's 5 o'clock and not dark! Yes, the days are getting slightly longer. Hooray for a longer day!
