Body: TOTAL WIN! (pilates, walking, rest, diet, sleep)
Mind: TOTAL WIN! (NASA, writing)
Spirit: TOTAL WIN! (walking in nature, dog, writing)
Social: WIN! (visiting with friends, corresponding with family)
I had my first pilates class on Friday--just the first of three classes to see what the whole practice is about. Partly I'm keeping it short because I'll be leaving Victoria in a little over a week, and partly because my schedule is now pretty full of exercise. For the last several days I've been eating and sleeping a lot in order to keep up with the fitness, so I don't think I need to add a whole lot more.
I've continued to poke at my writing, which gives me a sense of progress, and of course there's visiting with the dog and walking in the beautiful landscape around Victoria to boost my spirit.
Valentine's Day was, cheerfully, a non-event for me. I obviously didn't participate, but neither did it perturb me. I was happy to just opt out of the entire construct. How ironic is it that a holiday dedicated to love should be one of the more destructive and painful holidays of the year, beat out only by the other love-based holiday, Christmas. Whereas Halloween, based on a campy mockery of fear, invites everyone to play without excessive expectations, and thus is easily the most fun holiday of the year.
