• De-stressing

  I huge sigh of relief this morning - yours truly's credit score starts in the 7's and was pre-approved for a mortgage loan.  WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!  So if this house falls through, I can be on the lookout for another and that's such a relief.  I feel like I've won the lottery, well, you know, as much as you can working the last decade getting out of debt built from the decade before that. 

  The woman who owns the house I'm currently in left the country for Australia but also left a mess of unfinished business.  All kinds of messes.  I'm not sure how most if it will be fixed but she's not answering her e-mails so . . . besides the inspection, it's the thing that will keep me from buying the house. 

  After I left the bank, I attempted to walk/run a mile.  I was ok up until I hit about half a mile.  I wasn't in pain but the second I felt a twinge, I stopped with the intervals and I walked it in.  After that, I picked up a standing lamp and swam 3000m.  It was almost 3pm by the time I was showered and got home to change into some fresh clothes for a last minute add to my weekend agenda.

  Today, I met some of my old friends for a Tai Chi seminar.  The one hour lecture ended up a three hour practice!!  It was wonderful.  I was smiling the entire time and the energy of the class, oh, I haven't felt that in such a long time.  I miss them all.  Some of the women from the local Gilda's Club attended and they did great!!  It's very important to be able to modify form for more fragile constitutions - maybe they cannot do the full expression of a form but they can build positive energy and feel the flow of movement without stress on the joints or other areas that may be in pain due to treatment or degenerative diseases.  It was a great class, everyone was up to try more advanced forms and full of laughter.  Coordination wasn't always in my favor.  Bwa!  We practiced outdoors in the shade and it was lovely.  I love fall.  It was easy to make connections today. 

  Life since my mom's death have gotten a little less, well, I'm finding myself a little less staring into space than I was earlier in the week.  The weather has been beautiful and it would make me said she couldn't experience it at first.  I guess that's guilt.  I can see the day, I have life to experience, I can experience joy.  But there've been billions of days like this in the past and there will be going forward.  I'll only see a few more decades of this world myself so I'll try to fill it with as many adventures as possible, be that habitual seeker. 

  To life, liberty and the pursuit of!
