The day begins with the dawn, as the night sky opens to the sun and a new light. That new light shines opportunity over everything. Whether we are available to the opportunities is up to us.
I awakened to the dark and got myself out of a warm bed with jammies heated by my body temp. This old house is heated by hot water radiators that keep things cozy. Good thing or I might never emerge.
I get up, get going with morning routines and head out to the club for a workout — daily! Yoga 3 times a week and then swimming and treadmill and cycling and weights the others days. It is a great way to change your physiology and prompt your brain to release seratonine which staves off depression and promotes happiness. We all get blue, friends, but we don’t need to remain there. We have to push a bit to have a good life. We can all do it, we can all find a happy zone within us.
I took this photo when I arrived back at my home, just after dawn. The sun was rising and casting a pink hue on the gorgeous 100 + year old maple in the back yard. The birds were singing, the sky was blue, the sun shining, and it caused me to pause and drink it all into my soul. The warmth of my body against the cold of the air produced a beautiful steamy breath with my every exhale. It was invigorating and life affirming. I felt my inner strength and had in the front of my mind and the center of my heart why it is I do the work that I do to encourage people everywhere to reach inside and feel their inner strength. It is amazing, it is yours, it is for this life…….just allow it, everything is a matter of attitude, make yours positive.
