This morning I began an exercise wellness program. I have been suffering from sciatica for several months and being treated with physical therapy. I joined their wellness program and this morning was my first "exercising on my own". I was very very pleased with myself - I did exercises for the sciatica problems, and then used the recumbent bicycle for 12 minutes - my pitiful little records stands at 16 minutes, but I have not ridden it in over 3 weeks so I was pleased. I then used the treadmill which was a first time experience also - 10 minutes and 10 CALORIES burned - lol. Actually I'm not making light of that, I'm extremely pleased with it. I'll be back bright and early Monday morning for more wellness exercise!
After I finished the exercises, and before the post office opened, I went to my favorite breakfast place, Cafe Cappucino for an omelet and coffee. This morning was dreary, rainy - one of those "white" days that usually gives me a headache. I sat in the restaurant looking out a huge window, John Denver's Rocky Mountain High was playing and my coffee was good and the tree I was looking at was a lovely shade of green with tiny red berries all over it. The rain had made those berries look like little jewels. I was content, happy, and began to think of all the things I'm so thankful for. It was a quiet reflective time for me - it actually has shaped the rest of my day. I've been very quiet and reflective all day. Life is good!
I've just finished a Christmas Cabinet Card Book swap and will be binding those tomorrow and they should all be ready for mailing on Monday. I've also completed Tall Skinny Book pages for my online group. I'm in a 25 Days of Christmas Swap and the gifties are arriving daily! I'm getting ready to sit down and make something for a Lottery I'm in - theme Thankful.
