Today

How are you this Sunday? Just thought I’d type a few words about my day instead of being a productive elf and making Christmas gifts. Only a few more days left for doing woodwork in the woodshop, I have to make a toy for my nephew, a shelf for my other nephew, and a few other little tidbits for my family. Time is tight, but yet, the computer sucked me in.

I was up early today, had some granola (home made from my Mum) wtih some pomagranite and bee pollen, and then put my super wet day riding clothes on and rode to Trailside Physio to instruct a morning yoga class from 8-9:30. I think I made them work too hard especially for a Sunday morning. My buddy Francisco took some time after class to assess an injury I’ve been nursing for the past week. Seems I have either a sprained rhomboid or a tweaked rib; it’s been causing me an ongoing aching pain, even when I’m sitting here typing. No good. We’ll see how it is in a week.

Rode home in the pouring rain, loved every minute of it, and it gave me time to think about and prepare mentally for a meeting I had at lunchtime which is part of a course I’m taking. Made a quick vita-mix lunch of almonds, cocoa, dates, hemp seed, rice milk, and banana, and was off again feeling powered up.

After my meeting I stopped by the grocery store and picked up some food, and listened to Xavier, loudly, on the rest of the drive home.

Had a glorious cup of tea with Caryn, a little chocolate to go with it. Warm cuppa on a wet day, good stuff. Off tonight to a family get together, and then we’re in to the flow of Monday. I think the week will be a busy one…Christmas Day will ‘present’ itself before we know it.

I hope you are having some joyous moments this Holiday Season. I hope the busiesness of it all isn’t carrying you along without time to catch your breath. I hope you can find time to get out in the fresh air and in the rain for a hike, or a ride, or a walk and to have  a warm cup of tea with a loved one.

Many blessing to you all, and much Peace,

Ryan
