#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Despite not feeling 100 percent today, I had a lovely one. A bit dizzy and tired and upset, but all manageable. We played pickle at 7:00 a.m. before the hot sun and the heat. I played with the three men and pretty much held my own. It’s easy to be happy here. I wanted to make sure to have time playing cards with my daughter; our vacation ritual. And I was beating her when I had to collapse for a nap. Then I went to Bodhi Tree, unsure if I’d do the yoga class with my daughter, but it was such a wonderful class! Up up up into the trees to the yoga Shala with the supreme view of the jungle and the sea. I felt deep joy during the stretches. Deep relaxation and joy. I had forgotten how yoga can open to joy. I had my daughter drop me at the beach for a swim and I walked home in the hot sun feeling restored. And led my writing group tonight which also was terrific. The best place to be––with expressive, caring, creative, strong, visionary loving people. A great way to counteract the challenging things happening in this country today. My daughter called and I missed my chance to Zoom with Wave. I miss him so.
