Flu Shot

Its that time again to get your annual flu shot.  I know some folk aren't going that route, and that's ok.  I get mine every year because mom is 87 and immuno compromised.

I did my part on Friday and got the shot, but for some reason I didn't sleep much friday night.  Which meant Saturday I was dragging.  Sunday was a little better, headed to Mom's to watch the Diamondbacks. On Monday even though I did my grocery shop and laundry, I felt like crawling into bed all day long.  

Today, the morning was iffy, but I went to PT and he worked me hard.  I feel better!  

Exercise every day - its worth it!!

I say that to myself, but don't always follow it!!  And I should!!

Magic Things

I've always believed that if we open ourselves, if we pay close attention, there's magic in things around us.

Maybe that sounds odd, but how often are we distracted by things, how often do we dwell on stuff?  And how often do we let worry overshadow the other wonderful things all around us?

Seeing the magic, the wonder, in the ordinary is fun! As you take a daily walk, are you focused on finishing the walk? Or do you look around at the details?  Perhaps a leaf or a rock shaped like a heart? The magical colors in the sky as the sun rises or sets? The call of a bird in the tree? Catch the scent of someone's backyard barbecue? 

Maybe you're the busy type, maybe you don't think the little things are important enough.  It takes time to train your mind to become aware of these things, to see the magic happening around you!  I can't be that far off base, WB Yeats knew it too!
