Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
Stretching.
That first morning stretch.
The yawn.
Yoga
Challenging myself and achieving my goal
“The mind once stretched around a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions “ Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Stretching mentally? physically and emotionally – it all feels so good.
just got home from a long day out, Kate: I’ll get back to you on this one —
Beautiful thoughts my friend. Last night I sat on the floor stretching, Kate (and here I’m reading this in the a.m.). I was a regular “stretcher” for years. Since my back fracture, I’ve been lax and last night I couldn’t believe how much flexibility I’ve lost. My legs swell, my back hurts, and I literally cried thinking about how I no longer can stretch as I used to and how am I going to get it back? Apparently, the exercises I was doing for a while (that I THOUGHT was good for a sciatica issue) were NOT good for an acute fracture. Alas, I’ll keep my mind and heart stretching. 💕 thank you for always helping me stretch my thoughts and perspectives! X 💕
Little bits Karla. Little bits and grace and grit when it comes to stretching. Even stretching hands and rolling necks, subtle things done repeatedly with awareness are excellent for relaxing our tension filled bodies. Ahhh and the breath – the breath is so beautiful to enjoy.
💛❤️💚 yesss
ahh now I have it: I like to hop on my computer first thing in the morning and see who’s commented on my post 🙂 now there’s an honest answer 🙂
Ha! Nice to be in the same time zone with someone who is on WordPress John and a fellow poet. Cool and prone to rain here – hope the weather is coming up sunny where you are
yes, 21 today and partly sunny ; will get outside a bit 🙂
Very good, Kate! A wonderful and healthy way to begin and end the day. 🧘🏻♀️ Love the last line! ✨
Thanks Michelle, I think we are meant to stretch ourselves
It can be uncomfortable, but that is how we grow, yes!
That first stretch just hits different.
So good!
Stretching is very important, especially if your trying to stay fit. Its easy to forgot but I have been making a habit of it lately.
