Well, I was feeling blah and then went for a 5-mile run in the warm December morning - thus missing your writing time today - and voila I am chipper as can be now!

I do mountain pose

Inhaling and exhaling

Feet firmly planted…

Mountain pose is easy and immediately shifts my mood from weak to strong. Have a wonderful weekend everyone❗️♥️❗️

Great action Faith. I find that to be helpful as well. Last year I read the rest of the Harry Potter books. It was just what I needed to escape to another world. I'm curious what are you reading right now?

I am reading Nevada Barr books. It is about National Park Rangers. I have read most of her books so far. I love mystery and adventure stories. I have read Harry Potter books too.

Running is what I do when I am blah, when I am up right, that is. I must be a complete nerd create and solve math story problems. A good mix with my eclectic playlist. Happy holiday’s 🍾🎄

Another great idea to write a haiku. I haven’t in years! I like this one and the line “Steady as we grow.”
