My gift yesterday was? Did I stop and "Smell the Roses?" Maybe not. But if I have to list something, it would be talking to my neighbor as she sat outside with her baby. Why would I list that as my gift? Its a gift of connection. I connected, if only for a short time, with my neighbor. One more little bit of forging a relationship and a sense of neighborhood.

Yesterday afternoon, while it was still in the 80's (yuk), I tried a simple 2 mile run. Tried is the key word here. I quickly learned that 4 oz of mortadella for lunch was not the best choice since it kept wanting to make a reappearance. So I ran and walked. The good part was that I could then identify all the muscles that were tight and where I needed to stretch more, roll more, etc. And that's what I did.

I found my inner whatever practicing my Downward Facing Dog. Of course my dog didn't find that very intersting. It was the Dead Bug that she thought was great since it left me totally at her mercy to hover over me with the ball in her mouth. So much for who's Alpha at that point.
